ArmInfo. Robert Kocharyan, Armenia's second president and the country's prime ministerial candidate from the Armenia bloc, noted that if he comes to power, his team will continue his efforts for international recognition of the Armenian Genocide.
"One of the programmatic provisions of the Armenia bloc is unwavering support for the international recognition of the Armenian Genocide: nothing will be forgotten," Kocharyan wrote on social media. It should be noted that on April 24, 1915, in Constantinople, the capital of the Ottoman Empire, the extermination of Armenian subjects of the empire began. It began with the arrests of representatives of the Armenian intelligentsia-writers and poets, architects and parliamentarians-and then escalated into the complete extermination of Armenians. As a result of these actions by the Turkish authorities, more than 1.5 million Armenians were deported, starved, and tortured to death.
The Armenian Genocide has been recognized by the Council of Europe (1998, 2001), the European Parliament (1987, 2000, 2002, 2005), the UN Sub-Commission on Prevention of Discrimination and Protection of Minorities[7], the World Council of Churches, the Parliamentary Coalition of South American Countries (Mercosur), and the Parliament of Latin America (2015).
The Armenian Genocide has been recognized and condemned by many countries and influential international organizations. The Parliament of Uruguay was the first to officially recognize and condemn the mass killings of Armenians (1965). The extermination of Armenians has been officially recognized as genocide (under international law) and condemned by: Austria (joint statement of the chairmen of parliamentary factions, 2015), Argentina (2 laws, 5 resolutions; 2004, 2007), Armenia (1964 as part of the USSR, 1988, 1990), Belgium (1998, 2015), Bulgaria (2007, 2015), Bolivia (2014), Brazil (2015), Vatican City (2015), Venezuela (2005), Germany (2016), Greece (1996), Italy (2000, 2019), Canada (1996, 2002, 2004), Cyprus (1975, 1982), Latvia (2021), Lebanon (1997), Libya (2019); On April 18, 2019, the Interim Government of Libya adopted a resolution recognizing the Armenian Genocide.

Uruguay (1965), France (1998, 2000, 2001, 2006), Czech Republic (2015, 2017, 2020), Chile (2007), Switzerland (2003), Sweden (2010). Turkey continues its policy of denial of this crime against humanity.
