    SWEDISH PROFESSOR SAYS MANY STATES PREFER ECONOMIC TIES WITH TURKEY TO CONDEMNATION OF THE GENOCIDE

    YEREVAN

    YEREVAN, APRIL 20, ARMENPRESS: Turkey, like many other states, is
    trying to touch upon the Armenian Genocide issue only within the
    framework of historians, Swedish historian, professor of Uppsala
    University Goran Gunner said at the "Armenian Genocide and the
    Scandinavian Response" conference today.

    "The Turkey's experience to discuss the Armenian Genocide issue only
    with historians is possible to understand. With it they are trying to
    keep clean their face in front of the international community. But
    committing genocide is not the case not to come into terms with and
    not to condemn", he said. "Such crimes must first be condemned and
    then studied by historians", Gunner noted.

    In response to the question whether the European Union will tolerate
    the membership of country accused in such grave crime, Goran Gunner
    said this step will be against the norms adopted by the European
    Union. "Europe is not united in this issue: a number of states
    exclude the entrance of Turkey, the others encourage it. The issue is
    political one and many states, who have deep economic relations with
    Turkey close their eyes on the accusation on crime against humanity",
    the Uppsala University professor said.
