TURKEY TO ACKNOWLEDGE ARMENIAN GENOCIDE SOONER OR LATER
YEREVAN, MARCH 7. ARMINFO. Turkey realizes that sooner or later it
will be forced to acknowledge the Armenian Genocide, says presidential
advisor for national security Garnik Isagulyan.
But it is concerned for the possible consequences – particularly for
possible compensation,
Nevertheless Turkey will have to revise its policy on Armenia
especially considering its aspiration to join EU.
Europe realizes that the recogntion of the Armenian Genocide
is a guarantee against similar occurrences in the future. The
acknowledgement process is being encouraged by both Armenia’s
consistent foreign policy and Turkey’s intention to become part of
the civilized and democratic European family. All this is fostering
progress in the matter.
Armenia has repeatedly stated that it is ready to establish relations
with Turkey with no preliminary conditions and it is strange that
Turkey links this issue with Armenian-Azeri relations. “In fact Turkey
has fallen hostage to its own position and is well aware of it,”
says Isagulyan.
