Jewish-Australian community ramps up support for Australian recognition of Armenian Genocide

Jewish-Australian community ramps up support for Australian recognition of Armenian Genocide An Editorial by the Australian Jewish News, together with calls from the Executive Council of Australian Jewry, the Zionist Federation of Australia and leading Jewish-Australian Members of Parliament Mr. Julian Leeser MP and Mr. Josh Burns MP, have reaffirmed their community s support for Federal Government recognition of the Armenian Genocide following the historic recognition by United States President Joe Biden on 24th April 2021, reported the Armenian National Committee of Australia (ANC-AU). Firstly, the Editorial from the Australian Jewish News addresses the lack of recognition of the 1915 genocides by Israel: One of the reasons we commemorate the Holocaust is to ensure such horrors never happen again – not just to Jews, but to anybody. We cannot insist the world remembers what happened to our people without insisting it also recognises what happened to others.

Calls for Israel, Australia to back Armenians

[and] it’s sincerely appreciated,” executive director of the Armenian National Committee of Australia, Haig Kayserian, said with emotion at a particularly timely NSW Jewish Board of Deputies (JBOD) plenum on April 20. Just five days later Joe Biden became the first US president to recognise the Armenian genocide – a significant development strongly welcomed by Australian Jewish leaders who are urging the Australian and Israeli governments to do the same – a motion was unanimously passed to reaffirm JBOD’s longstanding recognition of the Armenian, Assyrian and Greek genocides.
