Uruguay Has Been Most Devoted Supporter of International Recognition Of Armenian Genocide
Yerevan, April 14, Armenpress: Uruguay was not only the first nation to officially recognize the Armenian genocide back in 1965 when Armenians were marking its 50-th anniversary but has been also showing an unreserved assistance to its international recognition over the last forty years.
The country's parliament keeps an extensive file of various resolutions, statements and other official documents made in support of the rightful cause of Armenians.
A year ago, Raffi Hunanian, a young member of Montevideo's city council, proposed that one of its streets be named 1915 April 24. The council considered his motion on March 30 and decided instead to call one of the busiest squares of the capital The Square of Armenian Genocide. A special monument dedicated to the genocide victims will be erected and unveiled on April 22.
