/PanARMENIAN.Net/ Ukraine has not recognized the Armenian Genocide
so far because Armenia failed to bring the importance of the issue
to the notion of the Ukrainian public, an expert said.

"Armenia and Ukraine have similar history. The Ukrainian people
survived Golodomor in 1920-1930. The point is that recognizing the
Armenian Genocide, Ukraine should not jeopardize its neighborly
relations with Turkey," Vadim Karasev said.

"We should work out a proper approach to the Armenian Genocide
recognition issue not to strain Armenia-Turkey and Ukraine-Turkey
relations. Black Sea-Caucasus stability platform formation should
not be damaged either," the Ukrainian expert added.
