CANBERRA, Australian During questioning by Australia’s Senate Foreign Affairs, Defense and Trade Legislation Committee, the country’s Foreign Minister Marise Payne confirmed that the government’s position on the Armenian Genocide “is a matter that we have under review,” reported the Armenian National Committee of Australia.
