    Overall, as many as 26 members of the Parliamentary Assembly of the
    Council of Europe (PACE) already signed the document on the recognition
    of Armenian Genocide, NEWS.am correspondent reports from Strasburg.

    According to the statement, the recognition of Armenian Genocide
    will assist the honoring of human dignity and prevention of crimes
    against humanity. Referring to the recognition of genocide by different
    countries, the Assembly members urge to take the necessary steps for
    the recognition of Armenian Genocide, perpetrated in Ottoman Empire
    in 1915. These moves contribute to the recognition of Genocide by
    Turkey, as well as furthering Armenia-Turkey normalization process

    Jean-Claude Mignon read out a statement, denouncing Armenian Genocide.
