Whereas

The first scientifically planned, organized and executed genocide in the history of humanity took place 90 years ago, perpetrated by the regime of the “Young Turks” and their ideology of “Panturkism”, against the Armenian People, involving the extermination of almost two million people.

Whereas

Crimes of this nature must be denounced in order to prevent them from happening again, in order to restore to the victims their human and national rights and to condemn the perpetrators.

Whereas

This genocide deserves repudiation from the Turkish People and all the peoples of the world.

Whereas

The People and the State of Venezuela have continuously condemned terrorism and racial, ethnical, religious and political discrimination.

Whereas

The People and the State of Venezuela fight permanently against all types of terrorism, including State Terrorism.

Whereas

Due to political causes and interests, there is an ongoing attempt to change history through the negation of this genocide.

The National Assembly Resolves

First: To express to the Armenian People, to their government and to the strong Armenian-Venezuelan Community, support on their valid and delayed humanitarian aspirations of justice.

Second: To request the European Union to postpone Turkey’s membership bid, until the recognition by Turkey of the Armenian Genocide.

Third: To designate a Committee in charge of delivering this resolution to the Armenian Parliament and to the Armenian Religious Authorities.

Fourth: To form the Parliamentary Group of Friendship to the Armenian People.

Given, signed, and sealed, in the Federal Legislative Palace, headquarters of the National Assembly, in Caracas, on the 14th day of the month of July of 2005. Year #195 of the Independence and 146th of the federation
