/PanARMENIAN.Net/ Armenian Genocide issue was moved to political and
legal field from the sphere of history where it used to belong. Now
Armenia has to take efforts to include the issue of Genocide and
elimination of its consequences on international instances’ agenda,
RA NAS History Institute Director Ashot Melkonyan said at "Armenian
Genocide studies" book presentation. "International recognition
of Armenian Genocide undergoes regression against the background
of RA-Turkey rapprochement," the historian stated. Many states,
previously intending Armenian Genocide recognition at parliamentary
level, refrained from the step, not to interfere with establishment
of relations between Yerevan and Ankara.
"We mustn’t’ give in on Genocide issue," Ashot Melkonyan stated.
