  • Russian Senator: Turkey Position on Armenian Genocide False Cynicism

    TURKEY'S POSITION IN ISSUE OF ARMENIAN GENOCIDE - FALSE CYNICISM,
    RUSSIAN SENATOR THINKS


    MOSCOW, APRIL 22. ARMINFO. <To avoid recognition of the Genocide
    fact, Turkey tries to persuade the international community that only
    "excesses" took place in connection with the military situation. It
    is a false cynicism that makes one to doubt that the Turkish state
    aspiring to become a member of the European family has reached
    relevant standards.> The member of the Council of Federation of the
    Federal Assembly of the Russian Federation, Chairman of the Russian
    party of self-government Levon Chakhmakhchyan writes in his article
    in the newspaper "Nezavisimaya Gazeta."

    Meanwhile, the author writes that even several Turkish figures were
    ashamed of the acts of their compatriots yet at the beginning of the
    20th century. Thus General Sheriff-pasha, who became an exile for his
    views, published an open letter in the Swiss "Journal de Geneve"
    wherein he stated "If there is any nation that have given more
    services to Turkey due to its state figures and talented officials
    owing to their mental faculties in all the spheres it is the Armenian
    nation. There is no educated Turk who would not sign the statement of
    my friend, the deputy of the English parliament Lynch saying that
    Armenians have exclusive abilities to bear new civilization; our
    highest ideals have become closer to them:

    At the same time, Chakhmakhchyan writes that lack of desire to study
    and lear the lessons of the history have brought to numerous bloody
    dramas of the 20th century, to dozens of millions of victims. That is
    why recognition of the fact of the Armenian Genocide of 1915 is
    necessary to those alive and not to the death. Those are not
    indifferent to human fates are well aware of this. In 1987 the fact
    of the Genocide was condemned by the European parliament, similar
    resolutions were adopted by the State Duma of Russia, parliaments of
    many European states, a number of American States: And Turkey's
    denial of the fact of the Armenian genocide recognized by the
    international community and given relevant international and legal
    assessment is not only cynic but also has no prospects from the
    political point of view. The current and the future authorities of
    Ankara will have to agree with the decisions and recommendations of
    the international community concerning the public recognition of
    Genocide and responsibility for it already in the visual future.
