FOREIGN ARCHIVES CONTAIN DOCUMENTS CONFIRMING THE FACT OF ARMENIAN GENOCIDE
YEREVAN, April 22. / ARKA /. Archives in Lebanon, Jerusalem, Spain,
Argentina, Brazil, Iran and many other countries and even military
archives in Turkey contain many documents confirming the fact of the
Armenian Genocide, Amatuni Virabyan, the director of the National
Archives of Armenia, told a news conference today.
He said Armenia needs qualified specialists as many historians,
translators, and several countries are ready for cooperation with
Armenia in this issue. He said Iran is even willing to dispatch its
own experts to work with Armenian peers and what is needed is the
Armenian side's initiative.
He recalled that the Armenian genocide was actually a taboo in the
former Soviet Union from 1920 to 1968, hindering immensely the work
with relating documents.
Virabyan said a three-volume book of memoirs with photos and
commentaries of genocide survivors was released in 2012. The abridged
version of this book was translated and published in English. The
Russian and Turkish versions of the book are underway now.
It is very likely to be translated into French as well. According
to him, such documents are an effective way to press for the global
recognition of the Armenian Genocide. -0-
