/PanARMENIAN.Net/ Turkey can recognize the Armenian Genocide if the
European Union urges it, RA Deputy Foreign Minister Arman Kirakossian
said in the Russian-Armenian (Slavonic) University.
The Turkish society should reach a certain level to acknowledge the
Armenian Genocide, according to him.
"It's hardly possible in the near future. One of the major obstacles is
article 301 of the Turkish Penal Code, according to which recognition
of the Armenian Genocide is classified as "insulting Turkishness,"
Mr Kirakossian said.
