MEPs Angel Dzhambazki and Andrey Kovatchev brought a small poster with a forget-me-not depiction and placed it on the tables in the course of the debate on the Armenian Genocide in the European Parliament.  

According to the MEPs, the events which took place 100 years ago caused a lot of sufferings to the Armenian nation and the only way to overcome that is to recognize the historic facts. “We want to pay tribute to the Armenian Genocide victims, as well as to other nations, such as Bulgarians, who also fell victim to perpetrations,” Kovatchev said.  

He said that the MEPs should not allow the past to “cast shadow on our future.”
