/PanARMENIAN.Net/ «I think in the 21-st century all civilized humanity will
denounce the Armenian Genocide,» Armenian Parliamentary Speaker Artur
Baghdasarian stated in Tsitsernakaberd Memorial to Victims of the Armenian
Genocide today. In his words, interesting changes referring to the process
of recognition of the Genocide take place in the world today: the Polish
Sejm denounced the Genocide lately, as well as the Armenian and French
Presidents commemorated the Genocide victims. «I am sure progress will take
place and we will fight along with the whole of the civilized world against
repetition of genocide,» he added. Speaking of the Turkey’s possible
accession to the EU without recognition of the Genocide, A. Baghdasarian
noted that though Turkey seeks after EU membership, application of double
standards is inadmissible. Armenia works for the entire region, including
Turkey, to be integrated into European structures. «It is an exclusively
good opportunity to recognize a crime against humanity. I believe Turkey
will have to give political evaluations, as the history cannot be buried,»
the Speaker summed up.
