TURKEY IS NOT READY FOR DIALOGUE OF ANY TYPE WITH ARMENIA, ARMENIAN
HISTORIAN FINDS
YEREVAN, MARCH 26, NOYAN TAPAN. Armenia does not propose demand of
Turkey’s recognition of the Armenian Genocide as a precondition in the
issue of opening of the Armenian-Turkish border and establishment of
the Armenian-Turkish relations. As Hayk Demoyan, the Director of the
Armenian Genocide Museum-Institute, historian mentioned in the
interview with the Noyan Tapan correspondent, the principal position
of Armenia is quite right. "We understand that it will take place
early or lately. Otherwise, we can not live with a neighbour which
being the right successor and inheritor of the country committed the
Armenian Genocide at the state level, disproves it," he mentioned. H.
Demoyan emphasized that Armenia is ready for a dialogue of any type,
including one at the historians’ level. At the same time he mentioned
that it can be spoken about discussion of only that issue at the
historians’ level. "The Armenian side is more interested than Turks
for those historic documentaries, sources, eye-witnesses’ evidences
are discussed and affirmed, which fact that a genocide at the state
level was committed." H. Demoyan mentioned that the problem was
obviously civilized and criminalized by Turkey: Turkey oursuited its
those historians who loudly speak about the Armenian Genocide, those
writers who touch upon that theme in their works. So, in the
historian’s words, one may conclude that Turkey itself is not ready
for a dialogue of any type with Armenia.
