ArmInfo. ‘The policy conducted by Azerbaijan towards the people of
Karabakh is continuation of the genocide implemented by Turkey’, –
member of foreign department of Armenian National Academy of Science,
living in the USA, Erwand Azatyan, told ArmInfo correspondent.
He also added that annihilation of the Armenian people is on the
agenda of Turkey today as well. ‘Armenia should arrange recognition
of the Armenian genocide by Turkey’, – Azatyan said. As for opening
of the Armenian-Turkish border, he said opening of the border is
beneficial for Armenia in an economic sense, but it also has negative
consequences. At the same time he said that opening of the border is
a right step as it mean endorsement of international norms. As for
US President Barack Obama’s speech on 24 April, Azatyan thinks he
will hardly pronounce the word "genocide".
