/PanARMENIAN.Net/ "The purpose of the so-called "secret decree" by
Turkish Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdogan is complete exclusion of
term 'genocide' as regards of the events of 1915," member of the ARF
Dashnaktsutyun supreme body, chairman of the permanent parliamentary
commission for foreign affairs Armen Rustamian told a PanARMENIAN.Net
reporter.
This decree carries no other information, according to him.
"The replacement of notions in this case doesn't concern the essence
of the issue and Turkey's stance on the Armenian Genocide recognition,"
he underscored.
For his part, director of the Institute of the Armenian Genocide
Hayk Demoyan told our reporter that Mr Ergodan did not sound a new
idea. "It doesn't matter how you call it. The essence doesn't change.
Generally, academicians rate non-recognition of the Armenian Genocide
as bad form. This is a historical fact, however Ankara may represent
it. Erdogan's statement was meant for internal use," Mr Demoyan said.
July 3 PM Erdogan signed a secret decree forbidding to use
the term "sozde" (so-called, alleged) as regards the Armenian
Genocide. According to the decree, the Armenian Genocide should be
henceforth represented in official documents as "events of 1915" or
"Armenian claims regarding the events of 1915."
