    THE RECOGNITION AND CONDEMNATION OF THE GENOCIDE IS THE ISSUE OF ALL MANKIND

    Friday, 27 February 2015 09:06

    Prominent Jewish specialist on Genocide issues Yair Auron is in
    Artsakh. After a meeting with President Bako Sahakian, he answered
    the journalists' questions.

    On the eve of the centenary of the first Genocide in the 20th century,
    the prominent specialist on Genocides noted with regret that the
    100-year works were not enough for its recognition and condemnation.

    The Jewish scientist believes that much is to be done here not only by
    Armenians, but also by the international community. "I think that the
    recognition of the Armenian Genocide isn't the issue of Armenians. It
    is the issue of all mankind. It is a global issue. It is the issue
    of each of us - me, my friend, my relative, and all of us. And it is
    shameful that only 23 states have recognized the Genocide. Yes, the
    Parliaments of some states have also recognized it. But, state-level
    recognition is needed. The Genocide denial paves the way for further
    Genocides", said the scientist. He considers the Holocaust a bright
    example of this. The Jewish Genocide scientist recalled the well-known
    phrase of Hilter before the Holocaust, "Who remembers the Armenian
    Genocide now?" In spite of this, Israel has not only failed to
    recognize the Armenian Genocide, but also supports those who deny it.

    "Meanwhile, Israel should be the first in the list of countries,
    which have recognized the Genocide", said Mr. Auron. But, political
    interests are prevailing today. But, with the adoption of the term
    'Genocide' the levers of struggle against the crime haven't increased.

    Even the contrary.

    An occasion for new debates is created, when thousands of people are
    exterminated. And it isn't in the historical past, but nowadays. Yair
    Auron recalled the Rwandan Genocide, .

    How real was the risk of Genocide for the Armenians of Artsakh? The
    scientist assumed fairly that he didn't research the issue and couldn't
    give any assessment. But, he highlighted that the Armenians of Artsakh
    had started their struggle, and despite all the difficulties, they
    had won it, thus removing all the threats. ,
    said the scientist, making the parallels.

    Recalling the lessons of the past and assessing the present
    developments, the scientist is mostly concerned about the future
    of Artsakh. He doesn't hide that Israel's stance isn't pro-Armenian
    either in the issue of the Armenian Genocide or in that of Artsakh.
