Cyprus newspaper Phileleutheros wrote an article regarding the photo exhibition devoted to the Armenian Genocide. During the opening of the exhibition jointly organized by the Armenian Parliament and the Armenian Genocide museum-institute, Cyprus Parliament Speaker Yiannakis OMIROU Ioanis Omaron delivered a speech.  

He noted that Turkey refuses to recognize the crime committed against Armenian people, while the non-recognition of the Armenian Genocide by some countries inspires Turkey, as reported by Phileleutheros. The Cypriot official called upon all civilized countries to recognize the Armenian Genocide – the most terrible crime of the 20th century.

According to Omarou, non-recognition of crimes against humanity leads to their repetition. He also reminded that the Parliament of Cyprus was the first in Europe to unanimously recognize the Armenian Genocide thrice – in 1975, 1982 and 1990 respectively.
