/PanARMENIAN.Net/ The Turkish propaganda aimed against international
recognition of the Armenian Genocide in Ottoman Turkey has not brought any
desirable results, says the address of the Chairman of the World Armenia
Congress, Russian entrepreneur Ara Abrahamian on the occasion of the 90-th
anniversary of the Armenian Genocide. At present more and more countries
tend to address the issue and this resulted in the inclusion of the question
in the agenda of the negotiations for Turkey’s accession to the EU, the
messages says. The omissions of the Turkish propagandist machinery are more
and more spoken of in Ankara, Abrahamian writes. `By confessing the
commitment of a crime a person mitigates his guilt. We hope for the Turkish
people to display will, confess and censure the Armenian Genocide. We
suppose that the Turkish people will ever frankly reach out its hand to the
Armenian people and that hand will hang in the air. New relations cannot be
built on justification of violence, pillage and Genocide. In the name of
that goal the World Armenian Congress calls all those, who appreciate
friendship and neighborly relations between states and peoples, to
cooperate,’ Abrahamian writes.
