/PanARMENIAN.Net/ According to formal archives, the damage Turkey
caused to Armenians during the years of Genocide (1914-1919) makes
$41.5 billion, former Armenian Ambassador to Canada Ara Papian said
during parliamentary hearings today.
He reminded that the Paris peaceful conference, which pursued the
purpose to negotiate the peace treaties between the Allied and
Associated Powers and the defeated Central Powers and define the
damage caused by the war, concluded its work in January 1919.
A working group, which was formed to calculate the damage caused to
the nations not immediately involved in the World War I, reported
that the damage to the Armenian people 1914-1919 made over 19.130
billion franks (over $41 billion).
"At that the damage done during 1920-1923 is not counted, thus
the figure should increase with at least 20%," Ara Papian said,
IA Regnum reports.
