CYPRUS PARLIAMENT TO HOST ARMENIAN GNEOCIDE EXHIBITION
14:37, 14 Oct 2014
An exhibition on Armenian Genocide will be organized at the Parliament
of Cyprus. The issue was discussed within the framework of the visit of
the Vice-President of the Armenian National Assembly Edward Sharmazanov
to Switzerland.
On the sidelines of the 131st Assembly of the Inter-Parliamentary
Union (IPU) in Geneva, Sharmazanov held a meeting with member of the
House of Representatives of Cyprus, ethnic Armenian Marios Garoyian
and head of the Cypriot delegation to the IPU Averof Neophytou.
The Vice-Speaker noted that Armenia and Cyprus are tied by rich
historic heritage, religious values, as well as mutual understanding
between the two peoples.
Edward Sharmazanov highly appreciated Marios Garoyian's personal
contribution to the reinforcement and development of Armenian-Cypriot
ties, especially during his presidency of the Parliament of Cyprus.
Sharmazanov attached importance to the close cooperation and reciprocal
support within different international and regional organizations. He
also referred to the Nagorno Karabakh and Cyprus issues, noting that
the positions of Armenia and Cyprus on the issues do not contradict
each other. He stressed that Turkey's occupation of part of Cyprus
and the blockade of Armenia are unacceptable.
Speaking about the necessity of international recognition and
condemnation of the Armenian Genocide, Sharmazanov noted with gratitude
that the Cyprus Parliament was one of the first to recognize it. He
invited Marios Garoyian to participate in the events to be organized
on the occasion of the 100th anniversary of the Armenian Genocide.
The Vice-Speaker of the Armenian Parliament suggested to organize an
exhibition dedicated to the Armenian Genocide at the Parliament of
Cyprus, and the Cypriot side accepted the proposal.
