On April 22, Parliament of Flanders adopted resolution recognizing Armenian Genocide. The issue was put on the agenda by common consent of all the leading parties of Flanders. The draft was submitted by Christian-Democrat Ward Kennes. The resolution yet again stresses that annihilation of Armenians in Turkey in the beginning of the 20th century was genocide and Turkey should come to terms with its past and recognize Armenian Genocide. The resolution was adopted by a vote of 100 in favour to 3 abstain, no against votes.
