Ramkavar Azatakan party of Armenia urged Armenian government to
undertake specific steps to remedy omissions allowed in the issue of
international recognition of Genocide.
As Ramkavar Azatakan party leader Harutyun Arakelyan told a news
conference in Yerevan, RA parliament must criminalize negation of
Armenian Genocide.
"Besides, Armenia has to develop a specific international law- based
program envisaging compensation for 1915-1923 losses to Armenian
people, with similar program covering compensation for 1988-1994
Armenian Genocide in Azerbaijan."
"Until the steps above are undertaken, international community will
keep pressuring Armenia," Harutyun Arakelyan said, characterizing
international recognition of Armenian Genocide as a moral victory,
but not yet legal.
