    SLOVAKIAN PARLIAMENT RECOGNIZES ARMENIAN GENOCIDE

    BRATISLAVA, December 1 (Noyan Tapan). On November 30, the National
    Assembly of Slovakia recognized the Armenian Genocide with the
    overwhelming majority of votes. This information was provided by NT's
    correspondent in Bratislava.

    According to the approved resolution, the National Assembly of
    Slovakia recognizes and condemns the 1915 Armenian Genocide in Ottoman
    Turkey, whose victims were "hundreds of thousands" of Armenians, as
    the crime againt humanity.

    The Slovakian parliament also touched upon the issue of Turkey's
    membership in the European Union, giving assurance that it is possible
    only in case of Turkey's fulfillment of the following preliminary
    conditions: the recognition of the Armenian Genocide, lifting of
    blockade on Armenia, the removal of the article from the Criminal Code
    of the country, which foresees criminal punishment for statements
    about the Armenian Genocide and the necessity of the withdrawal of the
    Turkish troops from Cyprus; respect for the rights of the national
    minorities in the country.

    The Slovakian parliament faced strong obstacles of the Ministry of
    Foreign Affairs of the country for the approval of the decision on the
    recognition of the Armenian Genocide.
