Iranian Armenians expect the Islamic Republic of Iran to recognize the Armenian Genocide, Armenian MP in the Iranian Majlis Karen Khanlarian is quoted as saying by Isna.ir.
Referring to the 98th anniversary of the Armenian Genocide in his remarks in Majlis, the Armenian MP said, in part, “In the course of the history, the 
Armenians, together with their Muslim, Assyrian, Jewish and Zoroastrian brothers, protected Iran, sparing no effort for its development and progress and therefore I expect the Islamic Republic of Iran to recognize the Armenian Genocide, in which 1.5 million Armenians were killed by the Ottoman Empire in 1915.”
Recently the Deputy Speaker of Iranian Majlis mentioned the Armenians and Assyrians killed during the Genocide, saying, in part, “If military and political strength and wealth do not unite with high human and divine values, they will lead to such horrible crimes as the genocide of our Christian sisters and brothers. The hand which was yesterday covered with the blood of the Armenians is now covered with the blood of our sisters and brothers in Syria.”
The Armenian Genocide has been recognized and condemned by Uruguay (1965), the Republic of Cyprus (1982), Argentina (1993), Russia (1995), Canada (1996), Greece (1996), Lebanon (1997), Belgium (1998), Italy (2000), Vatican (2000), France (2001), Switzerland (2003), Slovakia (2004), The Netherlands (2004), Poland (2005), Germany (2005), Venezuela (2005), Lithuania (2005), Chile (2007), Sweden (2010).
