Sabadell city in the Catalonia autonomous community of Spain has formally recognized Armenian Genocide,News.am reports, referring to the Embassy of Armenia to Spain.

The leaders of all political forces in the Sabadell city hall have signed a joint statement, according to which what had occurred over 100 years ago is defined as genocide and a crime against humanity.

"Any crime committed against humanity must be condemned, so that such things do not recur in any corner of the world, with the representatives of any nation, race, or creed. The Sabadell municipal authorities officially recognize the Armenian Genocide," reads the joint statement.

The Ciudadanos (Citizens) Party is the creator of this document. Party spokesperson Adrián Hernández noted that they welcome the respective support by their associate parties in the city council, since this enables Sabadell to join the other Spanish cities which already have formally recognized and condemned Armenian Genocide.
