    PAVOL HRUSOVSKY: TURKISH PRIME MINISTER HAS NO RIGHT TO HURL ACCUSATORY OPINIONS AT PARLIAMENTS OF INDEPENDENT EUROPEAN COUNTRIES

    NOYAN TAPAN
    APRIL 15, 2010
    YEREVAN

    The former Speaker of the National Council of the Slovak Republic,
    currently the leader of the Christian Democratic faction Pavol
    Hrusovsky accompanied by the President of the Forum of Armenian
    Associations of Europe (FAAE) and the Chairman of the Armenian
    community in the Slovak Republic Ashot Grigorian arrived in Armenia
    on April 14. On 30 November 2004 when P. Hrusovsky was the speaker,
    the Slovak National Council adopted a resolution recognizing the
    Armenian Genocide.

    According to the press service of FAAE, during a recent talk with A.
    Grigorian, P. Hrusovsky said that members of the parliaments that
    have passed resolutions on the Genocide are surprised and enraged
    at the statements of Turkish Prime Minister Erdogan. In the words
    of P Hrusovsky, Erdogan has no right to hurl accusatory opinions at
    the parliaments of independent European countries for their giving
    a political assessment of the genocide committed by Turkey. He said
    that the National Council of the Slovak Republic had confirmed the
    indisputable fact of the Armenian Genocide, discussed the necessity
    of giving a political assessment of it and, as a result, passed the
    resolution without any vote against.

    A. Grigorian also confirmed that at the time the Slovak National
    Council had seriously prepared for adoption of the Armenian Genocice
    reolution, and after discussing all the aspects, it passed the
    resolution without any vote against, which is a vivid fact per se.

    Below is the resolution on the Armenian Genocide adopted by the
    National Council of the Slovak Republic in 2004:

    "The National Council of the Slovak Republic acknowledges the fact of
    the genocide committed in the Ottoman Turkey in 1915, during which
    hundreds of thousands of Armenian citizens of the Ottoman Empire
    were killed, and considers these events a crime against humanity. The
    National Council notes that

    1. Until now Turkey has not recognized the Armenian Genocide committed
    in 1915.

    2. Since the independence of the Republic of Armenia up to now,
    Turkey has maintained a blockade of the Armenian border. Armenia was
    deprived of the shortest route to Europe and has no diplomatic and
    economic relations with Turkey.

    3. The Turkish parliament passed a law, under which criminal
    proceedings are initiated against persons who speak about the Armenian
    Genocide.

    4. The rights of the Armenian minority living in Turkey are subjected
    to systematic pressure".

    This resolution was presented for discussion during the vote held
    by the Slovak National Council on the issue of Turkey's becoming a
    candidate member of the European Union. The resolution was accepted
    as a precondition for EU membership.
