YEREVAN, APRIL 24, NOYAN TAPAN – ARMENIANS TODAY. “Our achievements
in the issue of recognition of the Armenian Genocide are obvious:
there were countries that recognized the Genocide, there were such
where memorials were erected.

The most important is that in the course of years more countries
and more peoples understand that indeed this is a huge crime
committed against the mankind and show proper attitude towards it,”
RA National Assembly Vice-Speaker Tigran Torosian declared on April
24 at the memorial complex of Armenian Genocide victims. According to
T.Torosian, the recognition of the Genocide is the matter of dignity
of Turkey and Turkish people: “They can also not recognize, nothing
will change in the world as a result of this. The most important
is the mankind’s realizing that indeed a crime was committed and
the attitude towards it is respect not only towards the Armenian
people but also towards the mankind and human values in general,” NA
Vice-Speaker emphasized. According to Tigran Torosian, Armenia has
always looked for verges of cooperation with Turkey and has always
declared about its readiness to establish relations with Turkey
without any preconditions. According to RA Prosecutor General Aghvan
Hovsepian, not only Turkey but also the whole world should recognize
the Armenian Genocide as the crime is for all nations. “Recognizing
the Genocide they should show their attitude not only in connection
with the fact of the Armenian Genocide,” Aghvan Hovsepian mentioned.
