The prevailing number of MPs in the European Parliament will approve the resolution on the Armenian Genocide, since all the important political groups have reached a consensus on the question of a single document, the former European Parliament MP and member of the Spanish ‘Aralar’ Party Iñaki Irazabalbeita Fernandez told Armenian News – NEWS.am.

According to him, the resolution calls on Turkey to recognize the Armenian Genocide and pave the way for reconciliation between the Armenian and Turkish nations.  “I hope, the resolution will raise the level of awareness about the Armenian Genocide among European citizens,” Iñaki Irazabalbeita Fernandez said. 

Touching upon Turkey’s denial policy, the European deputy said that the non-recognition by Turkey of the Armenian Genocide hinders the establishment of political stability in the world and in the region.

The European Parliament will discuss the question of the Armenian Genocide on Wednesday during its plenary session. Debates on the subject of the 100th anniversary of the Armenian Genocide will take place in the second half of the plenary session. MPs will carry out debates and voting for the resolution.
