On May 11, the members of the Delegation of the Parliamentary Assembly of La Francophonie (APF) led by the President of Wallonia-Brussels/French Community Parliament of Belgium Philippe Courard visited Tsitsernakaberd Armenian Genocide Memorial Complex accompanied by the Head of the RA NA Delegation to the Parliamentary Assembly of La Francophonie Margarit Yesayan. The parliamentarians laid flowers at the memorial eternalizing the memory of 1915 Armenian Genocide victims, honoured in silence the memory of one and a half million holy martyrs. The members of the Delegation had also been to the Armenian Genocide Museum-Institute and got acquainted with the documentary materials telling about the crime committed by the Ottoman Empire. At the end of the visit Philippe Courard left a note in the Memory Book of Honourable Guests.

The President of Wallonia-Brussels/French Community Parliament of Belgium in his interview said: “The Armenian Genocide occurred, and it is undeniable. The whole world should recognize and condemn what happened in 1915. That very impunity has borne new genocides in the world, which still continues by ISIS. The international community should assume that responsibility in order to stop any genocide committed towards any nation.”
