Nobody taking part in the discussion on the resolution recognizing the Armenian Genocide in the Danish parliament denied the fact that the Genocide was committed. 

Armenian activist Anahit Karapetyan, who lives in Denmark, told the aforementioned to Armenian News – NEWS.am.

But, in her words, most of the deputies stated that it is not their business and that the politicians should not assess these events, that is, this issue should be considered by historians. ''Those who introduced the resolution for discussion, stated that the historians have already given relevant assessments,'' Karapetyan noted. 

According to her, the issue has another aspect as well. ''Denmark marks the Holocaust Memorial Day. Why is it possible to recognize the Holocaust but not discuss the Armenian Genocide at all? Certain deputies tried not to answer this question,'' Karapetyan said. 

During the discussion, a proposal was made to remove the word ''genocide'' from the text of the resolution and discuss the freedom of speech and press in Turkey, she added. ''That is, [they] use the Armenian Cause in the parliament mostly to criticize Erdoğan's policy. It is more beneficial for us if this version of the resolution isn't adopted, since it has undergone changes and already has noting to do with the Armenian Cause,'' Karapetyan stressed.

She also noted that a voting will be held in the Danish parliament on January 26. ''I hope this version of the resolution isn't adopted, since there were many proposals on removing the words ''genocide'' and ''condemnation.'' All the Danish MPs used the word ''genocide'' and said they had been to Armenia and Turkey and know that the Genocide took place. The most horrible thing here is that nobody denied the fact that the Genocide was committed,'' she concluded.

The Danish parliament on Thursday discussed the resolution on recognizing the Armenian Genocide. The resolution was introduced by Alternativet and Enhedslisten parties.
