The current process of international recognition of the Armenian Genocide should culminate in a recognition by Turkey, Armenian Deputy Foreign Minister Shavarsh Kocharyan told reporters following the government sitting today.
The Deputy FM stressed the importance of the adoption of an Armenian Genocide resolution by the German Bundestag, particularly the acceptance of its complicity in the crime.
“It’s at least strange that the accomplice accepts its responsibility, while the perpetrator of the crime keeps denying its guilt.
Shavarsh Kocharyan said he regrets for the Archbishop Aram Atesyan’s letter to Erdogan, but refrained from further comments. He added, however, that the statement was a result of the fact of Armenian being under constant pressure in Turkey.
