Over 35 community and religious leaders from Armenian, Assyrian, Greek, Kurdish, and other cultural backgrounds have united in support of a motion in the Victorian Parliament to officially recognise the 1915 Genocides. The initiative, backed by a range of organisations including the Armenian National Committee of Australia and the Australian Hellenic Council, calls for the recognition of the Armenian, Assyrian, and Greek genocides as a means of historical reconciliation and preventing future atrocities.
