SCIENTIST-HISTORIAN STEPAN STEPANIAN: ARMENIA IS TO PRECISELY AND
CONSISTENTLY CARRY ON POLICY OF HAY DAT'S REQUIREMENTS
YEREVAN, MARCH 24, NOYAN TAPAN. The largest falsification in the
history is the negation of the fact of Armenian Genocide by the
Turkish government. Turkey lays oneself out in this issue. Professor
Stepan Stepanian, Department Head of the History Institute of RA
NAS, declared this at the March 24 press conference dedicated to
the 90th anniversary of Armenian Genocide. He assured that little
has changed in Turkey's attitude to other peoples since then. In the
historian's opinion, Armenia is to precisely and consistently carry
on the policy of Hay Dat's requirements. Stepan Stepanian expressed
satisfaction in connection with the fact that the Armenian Genocide
has been already recognized by 15 countries and declared that the
international recognition of the Genocide will give Armenians a
possibility to demand a material compensation. The historian mentioned
that according to the calculations conducted at the beginning of the
previous century, the material losses from the Armenian Genocide made
19b francs, which is today equivallent to $60b: "We have the right
of demanding this compensation from the current Turkish government,
which is the successor of the Young Turks' government." The scientist
also approved of the holding of the large-scale program dedicated
to the 90th anniversary of the tragic events: "We should show to the
world that the Genocide has taken place and the world should recognize
this without any obstacles."
