HOPES FOR RECOGNITION OF CRIMES OF OTTOMAN TURKEY BY “EUROPEANIZED”
TURKEY ARE BASELESS: ANDRANIK MIHRANYAN

YEREVAN, APRIL 25. ARMINFO. Hopes for recognition of crimes of Ottoman
Turkey by the “Europeanized” Turkey are baseless, stated politologist
Andranik Mihranyan at the Round Table organized by “Voice of Russia”
Russian State Radio Company, Apr 24.

In his opinion, the fact of Turkey’s accession to the EU in itself
means neither recognition nor repentance, it only delays the problem
and makes the case more neglected. As an example Mihranyan noted
Latvia and Estonia conducting the most undisguised discrimination
policy of considerable part of their countries’ population when be a
member of the EU. Chairman of Armenians Union of Russia and
International Congress of Armenia Ara Abrahamyan stressed that,
moreover, recognition of Genocide means for Armenia the guarantee of
its further security. Presenter and Chairman of “Voice of Russia”
Armen Hovhannissyan especially accented attention of both his
interlocutors and listeners to the circumstance that the problem of
1915 Genocide concerns not only Armenians but it is common to all
mankind. In his words, this first Genocide of the 20th century had not
been condemned by the world community, thus, became a prologue for
next bloody crimes.
