    ArmInfo. Current relations between Armenia and Belarus may be estimated
    as advanced, however, a quite painful topic of recognition of the
    Armenian Genocide is not considered in our mutually beneficial
    cooperation, Ambassador of Belarus to Armenia Stepan Sukhorenko
    told ArmInfo.

    "The point is that this quite a painful issue is still at the initial
    stage of examination in Belarus. I think our opinion in this respect
    will be formed depending on how the events around the international
    situation are developed. Moreover, Armenia has not yet offered us
    to adopt a resolution on the Armenian Genocide, and if it happens,
    I think we shall consider it", the ambassador said.

    Genocide of Armenians in Ottoman Empire in 1915-1923, during which
    1,5 million Armenians were killed in Western Armenia and other parts
    of the Ottoman Empire, is the first genocide of XX Century. Armenian
    Genocide has been recognized by Uruguay, Russia, France, Lithuania,
    the Lower Chamber of Italian Parliament, the majority of American
    States, the Greek, Cyprian, Argentinean, Belgian Parliaments, the
    Parliament of Wales, the National Council of Switzerland, the House of
    Commons of the Canadian Parliament and Polish Seim. In its resolution
    of June 18, 1987, the European Parliament recognized the fact of the
    Armenian Genocide and demanded from the Council of Europe to bring
    pressure on the government of Turkey for the latter to recognize the
    Armenian Genocide.
