On 13 February, the Syrian Parliament unanimously adopted a resolution recognizing and condemning the Armenian Genocide.

The resolution was introduced by the Syria-Armenia Parliamentary Friendship Committee, chaired by the Armenian deputy of the Syrian parliament, Dr. Nora Arisyan.

It should be noted that the resolution clearly uses the term "Armenian Genocide" and recognizes and condemns it.

The resolution specifically states:

- Based on the historical facts affirming the annihilation of Armenian people in the territory of Western Armenia from 1915-1923,

- Considering the fact that according to the Syrian sources, a major part of the Ottoman-era Armenian Genocide and massacres took place on the Syrian territory,

- Thus, the Syrian people witnessed this crime, when by the order of the Ottoman Turks the premeditated genocide of 1.5 million Armenians took place at the end of the 19th and early 20th centuries.

- The Syrian Parliament condemns and recognizes the crime of genocide of the Armenians and expresses its deep support for the fraternal Armenian people, as well as condemns any attempt to deny and distort the historical reality as one of the gravest crimes against humanity.

- The Parliament affirms that during that period Armenians, Assyrians, and other Syriacs fell victims of massacres and ethnic cleansing by the Ottoman Turks, and calls for the world's parliaments and the international community to recognize and condemn it.
