“GENOCIDE DECLARATION CONTAINS A DEEP CONTRADICTION.” ARMEN MARTIROSYAN

February 13 2015

“Legally, this is not too objectionable declaration to me, because
there were some legal references, both to the UN Convention and other
documents, but politically, this is problematic for me. The government,
which is maintaining its signature on the Armenian – Turkish
protocols, there is still a commission of historians, which disputes
the establishment of fact of genocide, protocols, which definitely
recognizes the Moscow and Kars agreements with regard to Armenia’s
border, while in the declaration we see a reference to the Treaty of
Sevres, which contradict each other. Ultimately, the third condition
is the Karabakh, which was not written. They wanted to write, but did
not do it. Now, under this circumstances, these two protocols and the
Declaration deeply contradict each other”, such a view was expressed by
Deputy Chairman of the “Heritage” political party Armen Martirosyan,
in the conversation with Aravot.am, referring to the “All Armenian
Declaration on the Centennial of the Armenian Genocide”. According to
him, this contradiction is a problem. “I do not accept the protocols
because it distinctly states all the prerequisites, but in that case,
you have not taken your signatures underneath the protocols back,
and now you are declaring a declaration? A deep contradiction.”
