PARLIAMENT TO VOTE ON MAY 5 ON ARF MOTION

YEREVAN, MAY 4, ARMENPRESS: The Armenian parliament is expected to vote tomorrow on a motion that calls for an amendment to a law on National Holidays and Days of Remembrance. It was initiated by a coalition member-Armenian Revolutionary Federation (ARF) and says that February 28 should be declared as the day of remembrance of victims of Armenian pogroms in Soviet Azerbaijan and defense of rights of thousands of Armenians who fled it to escape imminent death in the hands of mobs, stirred up by the government officials.

Levon Mkrtchian, head of ARF faction said the motion should become a retaliation to a massive Azerbaijani propaganda, which is trying to distort the history by exploiting the issue of Azeri refugees, who are kept in refugee camps for years to lament over their plight at international organizations.

Mkrtchian said more than a decade has passed since the start of Armenian pogroms in Azerbaijan and a new generation of politicians in international organizations have already forgotten about the real causes of Armenian-Azeri conflict.
