The Greek parliament has formally recognized the Armenian genocide that was committed by the Ottoman Turks and each parliament deputy exercises his duties in the way he thinks fit, responded acting government spokesman Tilemachos Hitiris when asked to comment on the initiative undertaken by Muslim Greek parliament deputies Galip and Mehmet to visit the French embassy and protest against the French parliament decision to recognize the Armenian genocide.

When asked to comment whether this initiative can be regarded as a violation of the Greek Constitution, Mr. Hitiris responded that this issue concerns the parliament and the deputies of the governing socialist party of PASOK
