    YEREVAN MUST RELY OF ARMENIAN PEOPLE'S WISDOM, EXPERT SAYS

    In the complicated geopolitical situation Armenia has found itself in,
    official Yerevan must find ways out relying on the Armenian people's
    wisdom, Vladimir Zharikhin, Deputy Director of the Institute of the
    Commonwealth of Independent States (CIS) stated during a Yerevan-Moscow
    space bridge on the occasion of the 95th anniversary of the Armenian
    Genocide in Ottoman Turkey.

    In making decisions the Armenian authorities must consider the
    Armenian citizens' interests, as the Diaspora often "absolutizes"
    its approaches to numerous issues to the detriment of the country
    they are not nationals of. The expert stressed that constructive
    approaches to numerous foreign policy issues create preconditions
    for the further development of Armenian statehood.

    As regards the reasons for Turkey's unwillingness to admit the
    Armenian Genocide, Zharikhin pointed out that official Ankara is thus
    trying to secure itself against possible material and territorial
    responsibility. "Turkey is afraid of the precedent, the recognition of
    the Jewish Holocaust, but, probably, an international commission has
    to be formed to settle the issues in case Turkey admits the Armenian
    Genocide, laying emphasis on the fact that the admission of the
    Holocaust and further consequences for Germany should be considered
    an exception, without serving as a precedent for many similar cases,"
    Zharikhin said.
