Armenian Genocide issue is intertwined with a number of historic events; memories of nations worldwide are linked with the first Genocide of 20th century, according to Armenian Genocide Museum director Hayk Demoyan.

As he stated at Yerevan-Moscow TV space bridge: “Political aspect of Genocide issue is often emphasized. Yet, it must first of all be considered from humanitarian viewpoint. Many countries who extended help to Armenians became eyewitnesses to atrocities committed in Western Armenia.”

“Presenting reality accompanying the historic event to international community should become the main task to future generations.”

As Mr. Demoyan stressed, Genocide recognition issue has become subject to political manipulations. “By forming documents running counter to academic history, Armenia and Russia's common neighbor seeks to create the artificial one. The fact must be given an adequate assessment,” he stated.

Mr. Demoyan emphasized the importance of academic consensus on Genocide issue, noting with regret that some foreign historians still deny the fact of Armenian Genocide.
