Italy - Parliament
November 17, 2000

The Italian Parliament overwhelming approved legislation calling on the Turkish government to acknowledge the Armenian Genocide. The resolution, which mirrors an amendment adopted by the European Parliament just two days ago, on the 15th of November, reads, in part, as follows:

The Italian Parliament,

Invites the government of Turkey and the Grand Assembly of Turkey to increase its support for the Armenian minority -- which represents an important part of Turkish society -- particularly through public recognition of the genocide which the Armenian minority was subject to prior to the establishment of the modern Turkish state;

Invites the Turkish Government to launch a dialogue with Armenia aimed in particular at re-establishing normal diplomatic and trade relations between the two countries and lifting the current blockade.
