Eduard Sharmazanov to Czech MPs: We should unite against Turkish denialism and for the protection of human rights
On June 27, in honour of the delegation led by the RA NA Deputy Speaker, the Head of Armenia-Czechia Friendship Group Eduard Sharmazanov an official reception was organized in the Chamber of Deputies on behalf of the Chairman of Czechia-Armenia Friendship Group of the Parliament of the Czech Republic Robin Bohnisch. The delegation of the RA National Assembly comprises the RA NA deputies Gagik Melikyan and Vardan Bostanjyan. The RA Ambassador Extraordinary and Plenipotentiary to the Czech Republic Tigran Seyranyan also took part in the reception. Let us remind that on April 25, 2017 the Chamber of Deputies of the Czech Parliament adopted a Resolution on Recognition and Condemnation of the Armenian Genocide. The RA NA Deputy 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. During the reception the RA NA Deputy Speaker delivered a speech, where he particularly noted: “Honourable Mr Bohnisch, Dear Colleagues, The adoption of the Resolution on Recognition and Condemnation of the Armenian Genocide was the most serious step for the protection of human rights and against genocides. The Armenian Genocide was the first great disaster committed against mankind in the 20th century, and the recognition of the genocide by Czechia 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.”
