Turkey Will Recognize the Genocide, But Not Today
16:12 – 05.03.10
Recognition of the Armenian Genocide doesn’t happen in a day or in a
year. The efforts exterted by neither Armenia nor the US nor even
Europe can influence its recognition, said sociologist Lyudmila
Harutyunyan during a press conference today. `Turkey must change,’ she
said.
Coming from that country’s history and political culture, Harutyunyan
noted that Turkey is on a difficult path today.
`That the Genocide will be recognized, I have no doubt whatsoever,
[but] I doubt this will happen today. Turkey today is not ready to
recognize the Genocide. That is clearly evident,’ she said.
At the same time, the sociologist added, decisions by the US Congress
House of Representatives Foreign Affairs Committee are preparing
Turkey for that process.
