    15:51 31/01/2015 >> LAW


    The municipal council of Burjassot city of Spain has approved a motion
    recognizing the Armenian Genocide.

    The motion was presented by Compromis party, the press service of the
    Armenian Foreign Ministry reports.

    The motion said that this year marks the centenary of the Armenian
    Genocide - the first genocide of the 20th century. "In 1915-1921
    massacres and deportations of Armenians occurred in the territory of
    present-day Turkey, in particular under the rule of Young Turks, as a
    result of which 1.5 million Armenians died and about 2 million were
    forced to leave their homes, creating a large Armenian Diaspora," it
    said.
