Czech MP: Use the right word – Armenian Genocide was Genocide

One needs to use right terms to be specific about history. This requires to call Armenian Genocide a Genocide, Jaromir Stetina, a member of the EU Parliament from the Czech Republic, said on Tuesday at the plenary session of the Euronest parliamentary assembly in Yerevan. The MP said that he had recently visited Rwanda, where the necessity to recognize crimes against humanity is particularly evident. Even a brief glance at Holocaust or Rwandan Genocide urges a swift recognition of Armenian Genocide, too. “If we want to stop further genocide and ethnic cleansing, let us use right terms, right words. Armenian genocide was genocide,” he concluded.
