YEREVAN, JANUARY 25, ARMENPRESS: Turkey has engaged Armenian
people in the policy of denial initiated by it and Armenia and the
Armenian Diaspora are fighting mainly for the recognition of the
fact of genocide, Ashot Melkonyan, director of History Museum of
the Armenia's National Academy of Sciences told a news conference
Wednesday, Armenpress Armenian News Agency reports.
"Unfortunately, our first and main issue has become the fight for
the registration of the fact. In reality in 50-60s the demands were
different. The Armenians were demanding return of homeland and not
recognition of the genocide, which was a fact for many," the director
of the institute said.
Referring to the adoption of the bill penalizing the denial of
the Armenian Genocide by France's Senate, Melkonyan said in this
way a serious attempt is being made to transfer the issue to the
legal-political field and step out from the veil of disorienting
policy of Turkey.
