Italian Opposition Demands Senate Recognize Armenian Genocide

An Italian Senator from the Democratic Party has demanded the Senate to recognize the Armenian Genocide.

At an April 21 speech at the Senate Albertina Soliani, recalling that April 24 is commemorated in Armenia as the day of the Armenian Genocide, said the following.

“We call on all our colleagues to commemorate the remembrance of the victims together with the Armenian community in Italy and in the Republic of Armenia. We do believe that the recognition and acknowledgment of that atrocity will establish a new and stable basis for cooperation between Armenia and Turkey,” said Senator Soliani, adding that Italy’s Senate should recognize the Armenian Genocide.
