The House of Representatives of the Australian Federal Parliament unanimously unanimously debated in favor of a motion calling on on the Australian Government to recognize the genocides of Armenians, Assyrians and Greeks.
The Armenian National Committee of Australia reported.
The motion paid respect to the upcoming International Day of Commemoration and Dignity of the Victims of the Crime of Genocide and of the Prevention of this Crime and urged Australia’s Government to uphold its obligations as a signatory to the UN Genocide Convention by recognising “the genocide committed by the Ottoman Empire between 1915 and 1923 of Armenians, Assyrians, Greeks and other Christian minorities”.
