GENOCIDE DENIAL: ARMENIANS SAY THAT’S ENOUGH!!
By Jean Eckian

Nouvelle d’Armenie
8 June 2009

Since new techniques have allowed for gobal communications, racial
hatred and genocide denial have spread like wildfire, growing
exponentially. That hits in the first place the Jewish community, and
as of 2005 Turkish and Azerbaïdjani ultranationalists keep spreading
an insulting and unbearable denial towards Armenians. They rage
blithely on the web. No authority is putting them to silence, although
over seventy countries, legislative assemblies, and international
authorities have acknowledged the genocide of the Armenians in 1915
in their homeland, in addition to the 1894 and 1909 massacres. Visit
Nicole Rouffiac’s website It is about time to end these devastating
attempts of denialists. For that purpose they should be denounced to
get them out of the Web, specially from Facebook and You Tube. The
countries which recognized the Armenian genocide must take steps to
pass a law which will expose any Armenian Genocide denial to penalties.

Ten millions of Armenians spread over the world have contributed to
the development of the host countries at all levels, but they have been
misled too many times since the year 1915. They do not expect any false
commiseration. They wish, they now demand justice on grounds of human
rights and morality, not on the basis of geostrategic considerations
which finally led to the 20th century20atrocities.

Now Armenians say that’s enough! Armenians are not as flexible as
one could think. They will not accept the excesses of ‘realpolitik’.

When all is said and done, while some in Turkey are moving softly
towards the acknowledgement of the Ottoman crime, we observe an
ultranationalist toughening aiming to definitively shelve the
Armenian issue.

Unfortunatelly, we observe that the constant denial of the turkish
state does nothing but strenghen the ultranationalist determination
to the detriment of truth and justice.

We call on our lawyers to bring action against denialist groups
acting in Facebook. We ask every Armenian to bring these groups to
the attention of Facebook and You Tube for putting these insults to
our Martyrs to an end. As their descendants, we are also affected
and will remain affected until ‘modern’ Turkey will acknowledge the
crime which Â"Young TurksÂ" have perpetrated.

PERMANENT PEOPLES TRIBUNAL : SENTENCE (extracts) 1984

a) General rules on Genocide

Under the terms of the prevention and repression of the crime of
genocide, adopted by the Assembly General of the United Nations,
the 9th of December 1948, genocide is a Â" crime under international
law Â", Â" whether committed in times of peace or times of war Â"
(article 1).[…] This Convention was=2 0formally entered in force
on January 12, 1951, and was ratified by Turkey on July 31, 1950.

b) Accusation of genocide of the Armenian people

The Armenians constitute beyond doubt a national group as seen by the
rule prohibiting genocide. The conclusion is all the more evident that
they constitute a people protected by the right of self-determination,
which necessarily implies that they are also a group the destruction
of which is prohibited by the rule relative to genocide. […]

The government of Young Turks is guilty of this genocide, in regards
to the acts perpetrated between 1915 and 1917 ;

The Armenian genocide is also Â" International Crime Â", of which the
Turkish State must assume responsibility, without being able to use
the pretext of discontinuity of this State in order to excuse itself
there from ;

This responsibility requires the primary obligation to recognize
officially the reality of this genocide and the consequential prejudice
suffered by the Armenian people. The Organization of the United Nations
and each of its members have the right to claim this recognition and
to assist the Armenian people to this end.
