Parliamentarians of Ecuador condemn genocide denialism

YEREVAN, MAY 27, ARMENPRESS. The Constitution of Ecuador gives room for establishing friendly relations with all the peoples of the world and work with all for the sake of human rights protection and severely condemns genocides, First Vice President of the National Assembly of the Republic of Ecuador Rosana Alvarado told the reporters after meeting with Armenian parliament Vice President Eduard Sharmazanov. “We have to also condemn genocide denialism, and this is one of the reasons of our visit. We can never forget what happened a century ago and can never forget the pain of the Armenian people. We must take part of that pain upon us, as it refers to the universal human rights. Our wish is to achieve peace, struggle for the protection of human rights and the preservation of human values together with all the peoples of the world”, “Armenpress” reports Alvarado mentioning.

She also shared her impressions over the visit to Tsitsernakaberd memorial complex and the Armenian Genocide Institute-Museum, saying that they are shocked at what they saw and it is impossible to forget.

In conclusion Rosana Alvarado mentioned that she accepted Eduard Sharmazanov’s offer and upon her return to Ecuador she will give a start to setting Ecuador-Armenia parliamentary friendship group.

Chairperson of the Commission on Foreign Affairs of the parliament of Ecuador María Augusta Calle Andrade mentioned in her speech that she received her initial knowledge about the Armenian Genocide by reading books. “Today, visiting the Armenian Genocide Institute-Museum, my knowledge doubled. I just cannot understand that new genocides and massacres still take place in the world. Ecuador respects all the religions of the world and peace must be built upon respecting the rights of all the peoples, including the right to self-determination”, the Ecuadorian MP said.
