Russia’s Djavakhq community and several NGO-s of Djavakhq declare about
their decisiveness to continue the struggle to make the historic truth
and fact recognized, and for the justice towards Armenian people and
those in the world who suffered genocide.
By their statement, they want to draw attention on condemning that
kind of crime. Genocide is the severest crime against humanity,
when a range of human rights are brutally violated. "Unfortunately,
genocides are committed against the humanity even today which threaten
our security. Keeping silence and ignoring the recognition of Armenian
genocide by some politicians is supposed to underscore their indirect
participation in that crime," the statement reads.
The statement underscores that the Genocide issue adopted by some
European states can’t become a topic of bargain and the provocations
by the Turkish side are in vain.
"We condemn Turkey fro committing the Genocide of 1915 and its
disclaimer. Regret and wish to conciliate demand much effort from the
politicians, but unfortunately, not everybody is ready to that. We call
on Turkey to clean the mud from its face and to recognize Armenian
Genocide. We declare that Turkey can’t become EU member state until
it recognizes its past crimes.
We call on the international community to condemn Turkey for its
policy.
We hail Armenian President Serzh Sargsyan’s decision to suspend the
ratification of Armenian-Turkish protocols and we think, unless Turkey
recognizes Armenian Genocide no ties should be recovered."
Panorama.am recalls that Turkey has traditionally rejected the mass
killings of 1,5 million Armenians carried out early in the 20th
century and took the criticism of the West painfully.
The Armenian Genocide has been recognized by lots of states. It was
first recognized by Uruguay in 1965. ), Republic of Cyprus (1982),
Argentina (1993), Russian Federation (1995), Canada (1996), Greece
(1996), Lebanon (1997), Belgium (1998), Vatican (2000), France
(2001), Switzerland (2003), Slovakia (2004), Netherlands (2004),
Poland (2005), Germany (2005), Venezuela (2005), Lithuania (2005),
Chile (2007), Sweden (2010).
