Great Council of Vaud the Armenian genocide formally recognized
Lausanne
Lausanne (ATS)
the Great Council of Vaud formally recognized Tuesday the Armenian
genocide. It had already done it indirectly in 2003.
The adopted resolution engages however only the legislature, the Council
of State considering this step inappropriate. "the divergences
relate to the form more than on the bottom", the adviser of State
Jean-Claude Mermoud ensured in front of the plenum. The
government of Vaud "prefers to facilitate the work of the federal
adviser Micheline Calmy-Rey".
Moreover, this step really any
more does not have of direction, since the National Council recognized
the Armenian genocide in December 2003, estimated the Council of
State. The government of Vaud proposed with the cantonal
legislature to remain about it there.
Mr. Mermoud pointed out
that the catch in consideration of this postulate in 2003 had caused
the carryforward of the voyage in Turkey of the chief of the
diplomacy. "the sensitivities are still with sharp", it
underlined.
"Against the lapse of memory"
the members of
Parliament refused to align themselves on the position of the
executive. The resolution was accepted by 86 votes against 35
and 25 abstentions. It states simply that "the Great Council of
the Canton of Vaud recognizes the genocide of the Armenian people
of 1915 and honours the memory with the victims".
This step is
not directed against the Turkish people nor against the current
authorities this country but against the lapse of memory, several
speakers underlined. "the duty of memory is painful, it does not
engage without external impulse", commented on the radical Jean-Claude
Rochat, quoting the business of the funds in deference for
Switzerland.

Grand Conseil vaudois Le g�nocide arm�nien formellement reconnu
Lausanne
Lausanne (ats) Le Grand Conseil vaudois a formellement reconnu mardi
le g�nocide arm�nien. Il l'avait d�j� fait indirectement en 2003.
La r�solution adopt�e n'engage toutefois que le l�gislatif, le
Conseil d'Etat estimant cette d�marche inappropri�e.
"Les divergences portent sur la forme plus que sur le fond", a assur�
le conseiller d'Etat Jean-Claude Mermoud devant le pl�num. Le
gouvernement vaudois "pr�f�re faciliter la tche [tache. Siamanto] de la conseill�re
f�d�rale Micheline Calmy-Rey".
En outre, cette d�marche n'a plus vraiment de sens, puisque le
Conseil National a reconnu le g�nocide arm�nien en d�cembre 2003,
estimait le Conseil d'Etat. Le gouvernement vaudois proposait au
l�gislatif cantonal d'en rester l�.
M. Mermoud a rappel� que la prise en consid�ration de ce postulat en
2003 avait provoqu� le report du voyage en Turquie de la cheffe [chef. Siamanto] de la
diplomatie. "Les sensibilit�s sont encore � vif", a-t-il soulign�.
"Contre l'oubli"
Les parlementaires ont refus� de s'aligner sur la position de
l'ex�cutif. La r�solution a �t� accept�e par 86 voix contre 35 et 25
abstentions. Elle indique simplement que "le Grand Conseil du Canton
de Vaud reconna�t le g�nocide du peuple arm�nien de 1915 et honore la
m�moire des victimes".
Cette d�marche n'est pas dirig�e contre le peuple turc ni contre les
autorit�s actuelles de ce pays mais contre l'oubli, ont soulign�
plusieurs orateurs. "Le devoir de m�moire est p�nible, il ne
s'enclenche pas sans impulsion ext�rieure", a comment� le radical
Jean-Claude Rochat, citant l'affaire des fonds en d�sh�rence [deference??? Siamanto]pour la Suisse.
