Present-day Turkey doesn't leave chance for Armenian Genocide recognition
Present-day Turkey doesn't leave a chance for recognition of the Armenian Genocide, Director of Institute-Museum of Armenian Genocide Hayk Demoyan said during Yerevan-Moscow space bridge. "We are dealing with the heritage of Young Turks and Kemal Ataturk. Present-day Turkey falsifies history at the state level. Any shift in policy is pregnant with radical consequences. Acknowledgement of a crime supposes atonement," he said.
"Turkey is not ready for this. Recognition of the Armenian Genocide will bring the country to a crisis. As to statements that historians should deal with the issue, I do assure that historians, sociologists and psychologists proved the fact of the Armenians Genocide. At that they proved it after investigation of Turkish archives. A huge amount of record hasn't been published yet. I would like to emphasize that not only Armenians but also Greeks and Assyrians were slaughtered," he said.
