Turkish president's response to Pan-Armenian Declaration proves Turkey
has no answer
13:49 * 30.01.15
Chairman of the European Integration NGO Karen Bekaryan does not
consider it coincidence that thePan-Armenian Declaration on 100th
anniversary of Armenian Genocide mentions future generations.
It suggests that the relevant work will be continued. The document is
based on four fundamental principles - memory, gratitude,
international struggle and the way the Armenian people is passing.
"The third fundamental element is international struggle. Armenia
declares at such a level that the Armenian people, which survived
genocide, feels responsible for playing its role in preventing further
genocides," Mr Bekaryan said.
He commented on Turkish President Recep Erdogan's statement on Friday
that a commission of historians needs to be formed to study the issue
of Armenian genocide. He point out rapid developments.
"Turkey's 'unprecedentedly clever step', inviting world leaders to
Canakkale events, was, at first sight, a clever decision. However, we
can say now that it caused an opposite effect. To make sure, we can
look through international press because cynicism could not be
concealed," Mr Bekaryan said.
Turkey is well aware of that, as well as of its abortive attempt to
respond to that declaration.
"It proves they have nothing to answer. So they are telling the same
tale about historians."
