    ARMEN HARUTYUNYAN: 'THE ARMENIAN GENOCIDE ISSUE MUST BE DISCUSSED AT INTERNATIONAL COURT OF JUSTICE'

    YEREVAN, APRIL 22, ARMENPRESS: The Armenian Genocide issue must be
    discussed at International Court of Justice, the United Nations'
    highest judicial body, RA Ombudsman Armen Harutyunyan said at a press
    conference today. He added that it is not appropriate to apply to
    the International Criminal Court, as it deals only with the crimes
    committed after the adoption of its statute.

    'If there is any need to apply to international courts, it is better to
    apply to the International Court of Justice (ICJ) on Human Rights,'
    Armen Harutyunyan said. He mentioned that the Application of the
    Convention on the Prevention and Punishment of the Crime of Genocide
    of Bosnia and Herzegovina vs. Serbia and Montenegro has already been
    heard at ICJ.

    He also mentioned that it is time for the Armenian scientists to make
    clear the dates of the Armenian Genocide, because one encounters with
    various dates.

    'From the legal position the emphasis must be put on the circumstance
    that the Armenian Genocide was designed by the Turks beforehand,'
    RA Ombudsman Armen Harutyunyan said.
