Western Australian Senator Rachel Siewert has joined the “Joint Justice Initiative” and pledged to recognize the Armenian, Assyrian and Greek genocides. The Armenian National Committee of Australia announced this on its official website.
The Senator confirmed that she supports the “Joint Justice Initiative,” which calls on the Australian federal government to recognize the Armenian Genocide of 1915.
The “Joint Justice Initiative” was signed in February 2020 in the Australian Parliament by the Armenian National Committee of Australia, the Assyrian National Council and the Greek Council of Australia, which declared the recognition of the Armenian, Greek and Assyrian genocides by Australia a priority in the name of their communities.
Haig Kayserian, Executive Director of the Armenian National Committee of Australia, said that the “Joint Justice Initiative” is proud to have one more parliamentarian in its ranks.
