The 45th Parliament which recently concluded saw two motions debated, without dissent, in the House of Representatives calling for Australia’s recognition of the Armenian Genocide and the country's own generous humanitarian relief effort to aid survivors of the genocide.
Kayserian revealed that Albanese and several of his colleagues had provided important support in helping end the Australian Parliament's taboo around the word "genocide".
"We look forward to continuing to work with Mr. Albanese and his soon-to-be-announced Shadow Ministry, to increase the non-partisan drive to ensure, among other things, that the grave crime against humanity suffered by our ancestors, is acknowledged for what it is – genocide," Kayserian added.
ANC-AU had previously congratulated Prime Minister Scott Morrison and the Coalition on their Federal Election victory.
