    A DISCUSSION ON THE ARMENIAN GENOCIDE IN THE AMERICAN PRESS

    A1+
    [07:16 pm] 01 June, 2006

    The Armenian Genocide continues to be the key issue of the American
    press. An editorial referring to the Armenian Genocide was published in
    the "New York Times" on May 17, 2005 critisizing the Turkish refuting
    policy which puts the issue of the Turkey integration in the European
    Union in question.

    The statement of Nabi Sensoy, Turkish Ambassador to the USA was
    published in the same paper on May 24 in which the Turkish official
    notes that there are no legal warrants and evidence to prove the
    Genocide and the historical studies are not satisfactory in this
    context.

    Referring to the incompatible claims of the Turkish Ambassador's letter
    Armenian Ambassador to the USA Tatul Margaryan released a letter to
    the "New York Times" daily which was published on May 31.The press
    service of the Foreign Ministry presents the letter fully.

    "Regardless of the claims of the Turkish Ambassador that history must
    be left to historians' speculations and study, the Turkish authorities
    make the history a precondition for establishing intergovernmental
    ties with Armenia.

    Turkey must first of all take into consideration its own history and
    must eliminate all the vetoes and cease the pursuit of the Turkish
    historians who ventured to study the events of 1915. Only in that
    case the Turkish historians will have a chance to study the abundant
    historical data including the verdict of the Military Tribunal of
    1919 according to which the initiators of the Armenian Genocide were
    condemned and sentenced to death.

    The number of countries which have to interfere into the matter
    because of the Turkish refuting policy and express their positions
    on this score gradually increases.

    The historians and lawyers including Rafael Lemkin who defined the term
    Genocide and put it in usage as well as the International Union of the
    Genocide specialists have already recognized that the events of 1915
    fully go in line with the criteria of the Genocide Convention of 1948."
