Ms Gasparyan said that they cooperate with ARF Dashnaktsutyun parliamentary faction and the Federation of Assyrian Organizations of Armenia is making serious efforts towards the recognition of the Assyrian Genocide.

Meanwhile, Irina Gasparyan noted progress in solution of the Assyrian community’s problems. The Assyrian language is taught in several Armenian schools, she said.
