Majlis MP: Tendencies to recognize Armenian Genocide may be observed in Iran soon
Tendencies to recognize the 1915 Armenian Genocide may be observed in Iran in the near future, , Majlis deputy Karen Khanlarian was quoted as saying this by Hyeli.com , the website of Iranian Armenian community.
Speaking about the possibility of the Armenian Genocide’s recognition, Khanlarian said in particular: “The Armenian community is working quite actively in this sense. Protests were organized this year. The state assists with staging such actions by giving respective permission. Deputies of the country’s legislative body even issued a condemning statement on that theme”.
A rather serious geopolitical situation over the ISIS and Turkey’s role has emerged in the region, the MP said. He did rule out, however, that if that complex political situation is dealt with, Iran will issue statements containing condemnation words or there will be tendencies to recognize the Armenian Genocide.
