Armenian genocide resolution should be more specific – expert

Yerevan, 5 October: Armenia’s foreign diplomacy is inert on the issue
of lobbying for appropriate contents of the resolution on the
Armenian genocide, the head of the Ararat strategic research centre,
prominent Armenian historian Armen Ayvazyan, has told an Arminfo
correspondent.

According to him, Armenia should use all opportunities as well as the
means of the Armenian diaspora in order for foreign states not to
merely adopt a resolution on Armenian genocide, but also develop
appropriate documents that reflect the reality.

"The recognition of the Armenian genocide is not an end in itself. We
should strive to achieve our own goals, which reflect specific tasks
that are not currently on the agenda," the Armenian expert said.

He added that Armenian society and politicians should be informed
about the content of the documents on the Armenian genocide, which
are put up for debate by foreign parliaments.

"We need to clearly realize – what the process of recognizing and
condemning the Armenian genocide means, and that without detailed
study of documents we will not be able to understand politics,"
Ayvazyan said.

“I should like to see any power of the world destroy this race, this small tribe of unimportant people, whose wars have all been fought and lost, whose structures have crumbled, literature is unread, music is unheard, and prayers are no more answered. Go ahead, destroy Armenia . See if you can do it. Send them into the desert without bread or water. Burn their homes and churches. Then see if they will not laugh, sing and pray again. For when two of them meet anywhere in the world, see if they will not create a New Armenia.” - WS
