The issue of recognising the Pontian, Armenian and Assyrian genocides has garnered attention once again in Australia.
United States President Joe Biden’s move to recognize the Armenian Genocide in an official statement on 24 April, upped the ante.
Greek-Australian Labor MP Steve Georganas submitted a proposal for the recognition of the Genocide of the Pontians, Armenians and Assyrians in the Australian parliament.
“This is a proposal that does not have a partisan character and is supported by several MPs. I believe that the climate for the issue has changed, following the move by Joe Biden. There has always been doubt from governments, all parties, but this time I think we will succeed,” Mr Georganas told SBS Greek.
