"Mr President, as Chairman of the Delegation for relations with the countries of the South Caucasus, I very much hope that the European Parliament commemorates the 90th anniversary of the Armenian genocide. They represent ninety years that have seen the Armenian people living haunted by the past and awaiting recognition of this genocide: recognition by the world as witness, as our European Parliament did in 1987, and recognition by the perpetrators as culprits. This recognition is a long time coming, as we are dealing with the realm of pure emotions and extreme sensitivity. I remain convinced, however, that this moment will come, and it is the responsibility of the Union to encourage it.
In the framework of accession negotiations with Turkey, the Union must help the Turkish people and authorities to begin their memorial work, as Germany did in seeking forgiveness from the Jewish people. We must prevail upon Turkish society to recognise the Armenian genocide of 1919. I am hopeful, particularly today thanks to the agreement by the Armenian authorities to participate in an intergovernmental committee with Turkey on the genocide. I am truly convinced that Armenians and Turks will be able to find the road to reconciliation so that they may live together as good neighbours."@en1
