Armenia welcomes the decision adopted by the Chamber of Deputies of Italy with regards to the Armenian Genocide, according to which Italy reaffirms its commitments and obligations under the Convention on the Prevention and Punishment of the Crime of Genocide.

The decision adopted by the Parliament of Italy is yet another important input to the efforts of the international community to respect and restore the rights of the Armenian people who suffered the Genocide.

The raising of awareness on the Armenian Genocide by the Italian Parliament is an important message aimed at the prevention of genocides and crimes against humanity.
