ARMENIAN GENOCIDE RECOGNITION PROCESS IS IRREVERSIBLE – GEVORG MELKONYAN

14:56 23/04/2013 ” ANALYSIS

The process of recognition of the Armenian Genocide is irreversible.

The joint efforts of the Turkish and Azerbaijani authorities to stop
the Genocide recognition process will fail, and Turkish intellectuals
themselves say it, historian Gevorg Melkonyan told reporters on
Tuesday.

The Turkish authorities are concerned about the events that will be
held on the threshold of Genocide Centenary. The Turkish government
has created a body, coordinated by the Deputy Prime Minister, to hinder
these events and the Genocide recognition process, said the historian.

Armenia and the Diaspora should not allow other countries to use
the issue of Armenian Genocide for exerting pressure on Turkey and
gaining dividends, Melkonyan said.

The expert stressed the importance of popular diplomacy, creation of a
common database of the Genocide victims and the repressed people and
publication and spreading of foreign-language books on the Armenian
Genocide.
