Paylan: Only Turkish parliament can heal Armenian people's wounds
Istanbul-Armenian MP Garo Paylan representing the pro-Kurdish Peoples' Democratic Party (HDP) has addressed the US House’s passage of a resolution recognizing the Armenian Genocide.
In a tweet on Wednesday Paylan stressed that after dozens of parliaments the US House voted overwhelmingly to recognize the Armenian Genocide.
“Our grief has become the subject of discussions in others parliaments, since my country has been denying the Armenian people’s Medz Yeghern for 105 years,” the MP tweeted. “The only parliament that is able to heal the Armenian people’s wounds is the Turkish Majlis which I am a member of,” he stressed.
