Turkey continues annihilation of Armenian cultural values, but
according to Lozano treaty that country is responsible for protecting
the cultural values of national minorities. Previous year tombs,
churches have been destroyed in the city of Ani.
"We should step more practical round. This is our mission. It’s high
time to draft a strategy to fight that challenge," Hayk Demoyan, the
director of Armenian Genocide Museum-Institute told at international
conference on Cultural Genocide.
He said that fight may be declared started, since projects on Armenian
cultural values and genocide have been submitted to PACE.
The museum-institute has enough scientific ground to submit papers
to the international community. "We have those facts and papers to
submit to the interested sides if needed."
Demoyan said the genocide of Jugha’s kachqars still remains unveiled.
"We shouldn’t make those facts older," Demoyan said.
Demoyan is sure Turkey feels the danger and tries to use its
traditional tricks to avoid it. "Turkish side feels the danger and
reconstructs Akhtamar church. This is a mirage," Demoyan said.
