As noted, 148 parliamentarians recently filed an application with the Polish Sejm and asked to recognize the Volyn tragedy as genocide against the Polish people
Interestingly, the deputy's request, particularly, was signed by MP Landyk Valentin, who according to the Decree of the President of Ukraine № 989/2006 was awarded the title Hero of Ukraine, director of the law company Lions Litigate Stanislav Batryn informs.
However, among 148 signers appear names of those who were granted the highest state awards by Viktor Yanukovych at the Constitution Day of Ukraine in 2013. Thus, in accordance with the Decree of the President of Ukraine № 355/2013 «On state awards of Ukraine celebration of the Constitution Day of Ukraine», the order «For merits» of III degree is awarded to MP Barvinenko Vitaly Dmitrievich, the Order of Prince Yaroslav the Wise of V degree - to MP Mkhitaryan Nvyer Mnatsakanovych and MP Stoyan Alexander Nikolayevich, order «For merits» of I degree - to MP Klimov Leonid Mikhailovich.
Please note that MPs Landyk, Barvinenko, Mkhitaryan, Stoyan, Klimov are in the list of 148 persons who addressed an appeal to the Polish Sejm, because it seems that some people who have influence on the idea of granting state awards, once again set the President.
