/PanARMENIAN.Net/ Armenia and Armenians themselves can be a serious
factor for EU accepting or not accepting Turkey, political science
doctor, historian Armen Ayvazyan told a PanARMENIAN.Net reporter. In
his words, it is a problem of Europe, not Armenians.
"Armenians are lately raffled off as small change for the sake of
interests of European countries. Even countries, whose parliaments
recognized the Armenian Genocide do not observe norms according
to the law adopted. E.g. France, which recognized the Genocide at
the Senate level. No conclusions are made out of it to apply to the
current situation, the government, which committed the Genocide, is
not indicated. Even largest information agency as France Presse never
utilizes the word "genocide". They write "massacre and slaughter,"
the Armenian political scientist remarked.
Ayvazyan is convinced that one should leave euphoria from recognition
of the Armenian Genocide by various countries. "Turkey even today
pursues a hostile policy regarding Armenia: the blockade, full support
to Azerbaijan in all fields. Armenians cannot seriously contribute to
improvement of the geopolitical situation in the region. I believe
that one should deal with this issue more seriously and in a more
balanced manner," he said.
