The Federation of Pontian Associations of Australia have sent a letter to Victoria’s Premier Jacinta Allan calling on her to support a proposed motion to bring Victoria in line with other states of Australia who have recognised the Genocide of the Armenian, Assyrian and Greek people.

In the letter, the Federation said “many thousands of Victorians will congratulate you [the Premier] if Victoria becomes the next state to recognise the 1915-1923 genocides in their Parliament.”
