Armenians shouldn't appeal to UN International Court of Justice
It would be a wrong move to bring the Armenian Genocide issue to the UN International Court of Justice, ARF Bureau's Hay Dat and Political Affairs Office Director Kiro Manoyan said when commenting on intention of the World Armenian Congress to appeal to the UN International Court in Hague.
"This action could prevent us from representing our interests in the court. We don't need to prove the fact of Genocide. If Turkey wants to prove that there was no Genocide, it can appeal to the court. If we go to the law, we should urge restoration of our rights," he said adding that consent of both sides is essential for any legal action, Novosti Armenia reports.
