PanARMENIAN.Net - President of the House of Representatives of Cyprus Marios Garoyian has called on Ankara to recognize the Armenian Genocide it carried out, claiming that only by admitting this crime there will be complete and fair restoration of the historic truth, Famagusta Gazette reports.



In a speech at a gathering in Nicosia, Garoyian said Armenians honor another anniversary of the 1915 genocide and continue the struggle for international recognition of one of the most heinous crimes against humanity in the last century and seek justification.



`We condemn yet again the atrocious crime and declare again our demand for international condemnation and recognition of the Armenian Genocide and urge Turkey to recognize, admit its crime and apologize to the Armenian people and the whole of humanity.



Garoyian said Armenians and Cypriots are on a common course for many years. They are both victims of Turkish brutality but continue to fight, demanding their rights and restoration of history.
