    FAMOUS FOOTBALL PLAYER WANTS TURKEY TO RECOGNIZE ARMENIAN GENOCIDE


    `Even we know all these, it is still very painful,' Armen Petrosyan,
    expert in Armenianology said after his tour at the Genocide
    Museum. The expert said he was in Armenia 20 years ago but he is at
    the memorial to the genocide victims for the first time. `This place
    and these memories make very heavy impressions,' he said.

    Yuri Jorkaef, famous football player, also visits the memorial for the
    first time. `I think it is important for the unification of
    Armenians,' the footballer said, also saying that the fire should
    never go down. `I expect that as some countries in the world,
    including France, Turkey will also recognize the Armenian genocide one
    day,' Jorkaef told reporters.

    Memorial stones will be put at the monument to pay gratitude to those
    countries which recognize the Armenian genocide. Today, the first
    stone was installed with a notice, `France publicly recognizes the
    Armenian Genocide.' /Panorama.am/
