Polish Lawmakers Recognize July 11 Remembrance Day of Genocide
08:53 GMT 22.07.2016 (Updated: 15:34 GMT 16.01.2023) Polish lower house of parliament approved by 432 votes a resolution Friday recognizing July 11 National Remembrance Day of a 1943-45 genocide committed by Ukrainian nationalists.
MOSCOW (Sputnik) – Lawmakers in the Polish lower house of parliament adopted a resolution Friday recognizing July 11 National Remembrance Day of a 1943-45 genocide committed by Ukrainian nationalists.
The resolution generated support from 432 parliament members against 10 abstentions in a vote broadcast by Poland’s TVN24 news channel.
Poland believes that the Ukrainian Insurgent Army nationalists committed genocide against Polish citizens of the Second Republic of Poland in 1939-1945. The violence culminated on July 11, 1943 — the so-called Volyn Massacre — when some 150 Polish settlements were attacked by the Ukrainians.
The Polish Senate, the parliament’s upper house, adopted the same resolution on July 8.
