ARMENIAN GENOCIDE RELATES NOT ONLY TO ARMENIAN HISTORY, BUT ALSO TO
HISTORY OF U.S.," HAYK DEMOYAN SAYS
YEREVAN, MARCH 23, NOYAN TAPAN. "In spite of the fact that U.S.
President in his April 24 annual message addressed to the Armenian
community does not use the word "genocide," I consider that such
address to Armenians by the President of super-power in itself is of
great significance." Hayk Demoyan, Director of Museum-Institute of
Genocide, stated this at the March 23 press conference. He said that
the Armenian Genocide relates not only to the Armenian history, but
also to the history of U.S. Thus, in H. Demoyan’s words, at the
beginning of the previous century Americans did a humanitarian action
of relief to Armenian children who became orphans after the
Genocide. This action was unprecedented by its scales and importance.
"U.S. helped to save dozens of thousands of Armenian orphans and we
are very grateful to Americans for this action. But it is a pity that
now U.S. uses this fact of Genocide as a club against Turkey, for the
purpose of exerting pressure upon it," the scientist declared.
