Declaration
The Honorable National Senate
It is declared
With deep sorrow we commemorate the 88th anniversary of the genocide of 1.5
million Armenians, perpetrated by the Turkish State between the years 1915
and 1923.
This is also a manifesto of much empathy repudiating the considerable crimes
against humanity that are still unpunished.

Reasons
Mr. President:
April 24 is the commemorative anniversary of the first genocide of the
Twentieth Century committed by the Turkish government in a planned and
premeditated way. 1.5 million Armenians were victims of the barbarity and
the horror of the massacres and deportations by the hand of the Turks, who
seized the lands and denied Armenians the right to live in their historic
homeland.
The politics of destruction and the intent of total annihilation of a nation
and the later fanaticism to erase the memory of the recent past—the Turkish
Government went too far to try to convince the world of their innocence
denying the genocide and the existence of the "Armenian Question".
Humankind did not monitor such dangers, and, together with indifference and
oversight, this led to the repetition of genocidal acts. The international
community is owed the admission of the responsibility of the perpetrators
for what they have done, since it is an international crime of genocide and
a violation of human rights.
The European Parliament, the United Nations Human Rights Commission and
several countries have acknowledged the necessity of recognizing the
Armenian Genocide, considering it an irrefutable, historical truth.
Mr. President, justice is the unique guarantee of human dignity; therefore I
seek our equal the endorsement of the present bill.
