/PanARMENIAN.Net/ The influential Swedish newspaper Metro refuses
to publish any article which may have a reference to the Armenian
Genocide , Ara Papyan , historian, diplomat and currently the head
of the Modus Vivendi center told a PanARMENIAN.Net reporter.

According to the expert, editor-in-chief of Per Gunne refuses to
place any article in the newspaper about the Armenian Genocide,
because he is "no longer sure if there was genocide or not."

"The same change in policy has been adopted by another Swedish daily,
Svenska Dagbladet, which, through the well-known journalist Bitte
Hammargren, now uses the media expression of "Armenian massacres",
as opposed to the legal term "genocide".

"These are not mere words, but represent policy. Policies have changed
immensely lately, and they have changed after that unfortunate pair
of protocols normalization of the Armenia-Turkey relations was signed,
" Ara Papyan said.

Earlier, fact of the Armenian Genocide was questioned by the well-known
Canadian Embassy magazine. Following the signing of the protocols
Embassy magazine in its October issue placed an article in which,
inter alia, states: "The Armenians of Armenia have made a deal and set
up a joint historical commission to determine what actually happened
in 1915".

In the publication the author comes to the conclusion that "what
happened to the Armenian population was not a genocide".
