BRUSSELS (Nouvelles d’Arménie)””The Armenian and Aramean communities of Belgium expressed their deep concern over the wording in a draft resolution on the acknowledgement of the Armenian Genocide by Belgium. The Committee of Belgian Armenians, Committee of Hay Tad, and the Aramean Federation of Belgium have criticize the ambiguity of the text.
The Foreign Affairs Committee of Belgium’s House of Representatives adopted the document on July 7, but Armenian and Aramean community representatives have expressed concern over points 2 and 9 of the resolution.
Point 2 asks the federal government of Belgium “to acknowledge that modern Turkey cannot hold moral and historical liability for the tragedy, survived by the Armenians in the Ottoman Empire.”
