Armenian Genocide problem destroys Turkey from within
The Armenian Genocide issue will not lose urgency in case of normalization of the Armenian-Turkish relations, Director of the Armenian Genocide Museum Institute Hayk Demoyan told a news conference today.

"Nothing can erase memory of the nation," he stated, adding that Turkey doesn't recognize the fact of Genocide due to "ongoing dangerous processes pregnant with review of Turkish history."

Genocide recognition issue destroys Turkey from within. The idea to form a commission of historians is only an attempt to gain dividends, according to him.

"If formed, such a commission will bring together many scientists, including those who are persecuted in Turkey over the Genocide issue," Demoyan said.
