Council of
Europe - Parliamentary Assembly
Written Declaration No. 320 - Doc. 9056
April 24, 2001
This written declaration commits only the
members who have signed it
Commemorating today the anniversary of the
first genocide of the 20th century -- the
Armenian genocide -- and paying tribute to
the memory of its victims;
Condemning all manifestations of the crime
of genocide as crimes perpetrated against
humanity;
Considering that the unequivocal repudiation
of the acts of genocide is a necessary means
to help prevent its recurrence;
Taking note of the fact that various
European institutions, parliaments of a
number of member countries of the Council of
Europe have adopted resolutions and
statements recognizing the Armenian
genocide, in the case of the National
Assembly of France a law;
Considering that the recognition by the
international community of the Armenian
genocide will eventually allow the Turkish
authorities a similar admission, and as a
result will lead to improved relations
between Armenia-Turkey, and thus, contribute
to regional peace, security and stability,
The undersigned, members of the Assembly,
appeal to all the members of the
Parliamentary Assembly of the Council of
Europe to take the necessary steps for the
recognition of the genocide perpetrated by
the Ottoman Empire against the Armenians at
the beginning of the 20th century.
