"How can we tell the governors of Turkey – Erdoghan and Giul that
genocide happened? They do the impossible to prove that there was
no Armenian genocide," Stepan Stepanyan, a historian, told a press
conference today also saying there is even a monument in Erzrum
commemorating the Turks who fell in genocide by the Armenians. This
is a "shame," the historian said.
In his words, it is unlikely that the Armenian-Turkish relations
change. The more the genocide issue becomes acute, the worse the
relations, he said. Stepanyan welcomed the fact that the Turk society
rose against the murder of Hrant Dink. "But that society have not
developed so that to accept the murder it has committed," he said.
The historian doubts that Turkey may recognize the genocide in a
day or two. However, he said if the world recognizes the Armenian
genocide, Turkey will have nothing to do. "I think, USA may recognize
the genocide this year," Stepanyan hoped.
