Statement by Foreign Minister Edward Nalbandian on the recognition of Armenian Genocide by the Chamber of Representatives of Belgium

Seventeen years ago the Belgian Senate recognized the Armenian Genocide by a special resolution. On June 18 this year the Prime Minister of Belgium reaffirmed the position of the Government on the unconditional recognition of the Armenian Genocide.

The resolution recognising the Armenian Genocide adopted today by the Chamber of Representatives completes the process of recognition of the Armenian Genocide by Belgium.

We welcome the unconditional recognition of the Armenian Genocide by legislative and executive authorities of the Kingdom of Belgium.
