ARMENIAN PRESIDENT CAREFULLY OPTIMISTIC ABOUT TURKEY'S RECOGNIZING
ARMENIAN GENOCIDE
YEREVAN, FEBRUARY 26. ARMINFO. Armenia's President is carefully
optimistic about Turkey's recognizing Armenian Genocide.
In Golos Armenii he says that for many years Turkish society has been
taught to deny the Armenian Genocide and now it is very difficult to
overcome this inertia. But Turkey's aspiration to join EU implies more
open society, more accessible information and more discussions of
complicated issues. These are the very instruments forming objectivity
in evaluating one's own history.
As to the possibility of Turkey's launching active anti-Genocide
counter-propaganda Kocharyan says that such propaganda is existent now
too but the results will be quite opposite to what Turkey is
expecting.
