The overwhelming view of history scholars is that the killing of over a million and a half civilians in the Armenian, Hellenic and Assyrian communities during the final years of the Ottoman Empire was done with genocidal intent, and is therefore to be characterized as genocide, as was subsequently defined in the Convention on the Prevention and Punishment of the Crime of Genocide.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">We call on the Minister and the government to rethink and correct their position to ensure just reference to the Armenian Genocide.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Authorised by:<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Executive Council of Australian Jewry<br \/>\nArmenian National Committee of Australia<br \/>\nUkrainian Federation of Australian Organisations<br \/>\nAustralian Hellenic Council<br \/>\nAssyrian Universal Alliance &#8211; Australia<br \/>\nDarfur Australia Network<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>(Armenia Online) SYDNEY: Leading Australian community organisations &#8211; including the Executive Council of Australian Jewry, the Australian Hellenic Council, the Ukrainian Federation of Australian Organisations,<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":3013,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[115],"tags":[131],"class_list":["post-3012","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-news","tag-anc-australia"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.8 -
