    15:27, 1 June, 2013


    YEREVAN, JUNE 1, ARMENPRESS: Turkey should recognize the Armenian
    Genocide to face its own history and make a significant step towards
    the membership in the European Union. This was stated to Armenpress by
    the President of the Parliamentary Assembly of the Council of Europe
    Jean-Claude Mignon.

    `I think that Turkey should recognize the Armenian Genocide. That
    would be one of the most important steps towards its membership in the
    European Union. Turkey should accept the committed genocide and face
    the own history and reality', - said Jean-Claude Mignon. The President
    of the Parliamentary Assembly of the Council of Europe stated that
    there were quite many victims and human tragedies committed by
    Turkey. `The Armenian Genocide is a global tragedy, which should be
    recognized', - said the President of the Parliamentary Assembly of the
    Council of Europe Jean-Claude Mignon.

    The President of the Parliamentary Assembly of the Council of Europe
    Jean-Claude Mignon visited the Tsitsernakaberd Memorial on June 1 to
    commemorate the victims of the Armenian Genocide. The high-ranking
    guest laid a wreath to the Memorial to pay tribute to the memory of
    the innocent victims of the Genocide and flowers to the Eternal Fire.

    Jean-Claude Mignon made a note in the record book of the Genocide
    Museum Institute: `Thank you for this touching visit to the Memorial
    perpetuating the sad memory of the innocent victims of the Armenia
    Genocide. Every day the European Council struggles not to allow the
    repetition of such a tragedy'.

    The President of the Parliamentary Assembly of the Council of Europe
    Jean-Claude Mignon arrived in Armenia to participate in the sessions
    of the Standing Committee of the Parliamentary Assembly of the Council
    of Europe, launched in Yerevan on May 31.

    The Parliamentary Assembly of the Council of Europe adopted a
    declaration on the Armenian Genocide on April 24 of the years of 1998
    and 2001. `Today we commemorate the anniversary of the first genocide
    of the 20th century and pay tribute to the memory of the innocent
    Armenians fell in the massacre directed against the humanity', - says
    the PACE Resolution of April 24 1998.
