The adoption of the Armenian Genocide resolution by the Czech Parliament was the most serious step for the protection of human rights and against genocides, Deputy Speaker of the Armenian Parliament Eduard Sharmazanov stated during an official reception organized on behalf of the Chairman of Czech-Armenia Friendship Group of the Parliament of the Czech Republic Robin Bohnisch.

Sharmazanov recalled that on April 25, 2017 the Chamber of Deputies of the Czech Parliament adopted a Resolution on Recognition and Condemnation of the Armenian Genocide, saying the Armenian Genocide was the first great disaster committed against mankind in the 20th century, and the recognition of the genocide by Czech Republic is the answer of your country against barbarism.

“We admire with your courage, and you prevent new genocides with it. It is worth noting that during 102 years Turkey has not been changed with its denial policy. We should unite against Turkish denialism and for the protection of human rights,” noted Sharmazanov

As the press service at the Parliament reported, Speaker Eduard Sharmazanov presented the RA NA Medal of Honour, the RA NA Diploma and the RA NA Speaker’s Memorial Medal to a number of members of the Chamber of Deputies for the work done in the adoption of the Resolution on Recognition and Condemnation of the Armenian Genocide, as well as for strengthening the Czech-Armenian inter-parliamentary ties.
