/PanARMENIAN.Net/ Armenia should raise the issue of returning of
historical Armenian territories by Turkey, head of the department of
history of the Armenian issue and Armenian Genocide of the Institute
of History at the National Academy of Sciences Stepan Stepanyan
considers. In his words, to date 18 states have recognized the
Armenian Genocide and this offers the reason to urge Turkey to return
the territories. Stepanyan considers that the Armenian diplomats and
Diaspora should play a significant role in the issue.
`We should not wait until all the states of the world recognize the
Armenian Genocide. The diplomatic work should be targeted at the
returning of historical Armenian territories. Turkey will never
acknowledge the Armenian Genocide. Its barbarian attitude to the issue
has not changed so far. On the contrary, when Armenia speaks of the
opening of the Armenian-Turkish border or Karabakh conflict settlement
Turkey tries to oblige Armenia to abandon the campaign on the Armenian
Genocide recognition,' he said, reported Novosti-Armenia.
