/PanARMENIAN.Net/ The idea of appealing to the international courts
belongs to retired Turkish diplomat Gunduz Aktan, who had served
Turkish Ambassador to many European structures, Director of the
Institute of Oriental Studies at the RA Academy of Sciences Ruben
Safrastian told a PanARMENIAN.Net reporter. In his words, there were
two variants of policy on the Armenian Genocide issue. "They were going
to proceed with the denial policy or appeal to the international court
motivating that Armenians will not be able to prove that the killings
of 1915 were Genocide. The decision was taken by the General Staff,"
he said. Safrastian reminded that Aktan is one of the rigid Turkish
politicians and when a member of the Armenian-Turkish Reconciliation
Committee always stood against the Armenian Genocide recognition.
