16:53, 17 April, 2015
YEREVAN, 17 APRIL, ARMENPRESS. Yerevan will aspire to achieve
international recognition and condemnation of the Armenian Genocide
perpetrated in the Ottoman Empire since it is a matter of Armenia’s
national security. That’s what Armenia’s Ambassador to the Russian
Federation Oleg Yesayan said during an April 17 press conference,
“Armenpress” reports.
“Since modern-day Turkey still hasn’t recognized the Armenian
Genocide, being the legal successor of the Ottoman Empire, it
is directly responsible for the crime. We will aspire to achieve
international recognition because it is a matter of Armenia’s national
security. After all, by becoming victims of genocide, it seems as
though we have taken responsibility for the future generations,
and not only our nation. It is our duty to become the frontrunners
in that struggle,” the Ambassador said in his speech at the forum
devoted to the Centennial of the Armenian Genocide perpetrated in
the Ottoman Empire.
