YEREVAN (YERKIR) - "UN is not reluctant to discuss the issue of
qualifying the events of 1915-1923 as genocide but the issue has not
been raised officially," Juan Mendez, UN Secretary General's special
advisor on genocide prevention told reporters on Thursday during the
"Ultimate Crime, Ultimate Challenge" conference under way in Yerevan,
Armenpress reported. If a UN member state raises the issue, it will
be certainly discussed, he added.
He also noted that a Genocide Prevention resolution introduced by
Armenia in the United Nations on April 21 will contribute greatly to
the prevention of future genocides.
