    WAC HAS ENOUGH MATERIAL TO TURN TO INTERNAT COURT OVER GENOCIDE

    The World Armenian Congress (WAC) has enough documented material to
    turn to the International Court over the Armenian genocide in the
    Ottoman empire, Ara Abramyan, the president of the WAC and of the
    Union of Armenians of Russia, told a news conference here on Wednesday
    evening. He recalled that WAC experts had worked in the archives of
    more than 30 countries.

    Abramyan said WAC experts must specify Armenia's stand as to how to
    pose the question - whether to demand the compensation for moral,
    material or territorial damage from the genocide. "It is necessary
    to make it clear what we aim to receive and in what order," the
    president of the congress said. A forum with the participation of
    representatives of the Armenian authorities and WAC experts is to be
    held next year to formulate the uniform stand on the matter.

    Abramyan said the WAC would assist the establishment of the Armenian
    chair in a large university in Israel so that alongside lectures
    about the Holocaust there should be the presentation of facts about
    the Armenian genocide in the Ottooman Turkey in the late 19th -
    early 20th centuries.

    International recognition and condemnation of the Armenian genocide
    is one of the priorities of Armenia's foreign policy.
