Members of Parliament observed a minute of silence to honor the victims of the Armenian Genocide in the Ottoman Empire (1915-1916). April 24 was declared Armenian Genocide Remembrance Day.
BSP MP Atanas Zafirov proposed that a minute of silence be observed following declarations from the parliamentary groups of We Continue the Change - Democratic Bulgaria, the Bulgarian Socialist Party and Vazrazhdane. National Assembly Speaker Rossen Zhelyazkov commented that this procedure had not been allowed for today's session, but Zafirov was again tempted to break the rules as he did last year. After the minute of silence, the parliamentary group of GERB-SDS also read a declaration in memory of the victims of the Armenian Genocide.
