VIENNA (A.W.)—The Austrian Parliament adopted a resolution on April 21
condemning the Armenian Genocide and calling on Turkey to face its history.
According to sources, all six factions of the parliament supported the
resolution, which also acknowledges the role of the Austro-Hungarian Empire in
supporting the Ottoman Empire during World War I.
The news comes a day after Germany announced its plan to “stand behind” a resolution affirming the Armenian Genocide, which will be voted on April 24.
Germany’s Parliament is set to use the term genocide in a resolution, and the government said on April 20 that it will support the motion sponsored by the ruling parties.
A draft of the German resolution notes the Armenians’ fate is “exemplary for the history of mass destruction, ethnic cleansing, expulsions and genocides by which the 20th century is marked in such a terrible way.”
