YEREVAN, April 24. /ARKA/. Armenian Genocide fact denial by Turkey
is a temporary phenomenon, Armenian Deputy Defense Minister Arthur
Aghabekyan told journalist on Monday.
"Sooner of later the fact must be admitted" Aghabekyan said.
He is convinced that Armenia pursued a right policy in a bid to obtain
international recognition of the genocide fact.
He thinks the international community must know that Armenia will be
steadfast in its efforts to obtain the worldwide official condemnation
of this horrible conspiracy against Armenians.
The 1915-1923 Armenian Genocide orchestrated by Ottoman Turkey's
leadership is the first genocide of XX century. Half a million
Armenians were slain in Western Armenia, which was a part of Turkey
then.
The fact of Armenian Genocide has been officially admitted by
Uruguay, Russia, France, Lower House of Italian Parliament, many of
the U.S.A. states, parliaments of Greece, Cyprus, Argentina, Belgium,
Wales, Switzerland's National Committee Canadian Parliament's Community
Chamber and Polish Seim.
