YEREVAN, APRIL 24, NOYAN TAPAN - ARMENIANS TODAY. "For the Armenian
people, April 24 is not only a day of commemoration but also a day
of struggle as paying the tribute of our respect to the memory of
the innocent victims, we express our protest against the Turkish
government," Hrant Margarian, representative of ARF Dashnaktsutiun
Bureau, declared on April 24, at the Tsitsernakaberd memorial complex
of the Armenian Genocide victims. "The stronger Armenia becomes and
the more organized it is the more we will approach the recognition
of the Armenian Genocide by Turkey," Hrant Margarian said meanwhile
emphasizing that "our goal should not be only the recognition of the
Armenian Genocide by Turkey, but we should protect our rights". "The
Genocide violated the Armenian people's right of life, existence,
development and by recognizing the Genocide we will restore these
rights," ARF Dashnaktsutiun Bureau representative declared. In response
to the question, whether Turkey will be admitted into the European
Union without recognizing the Armenian Genocide, H.Margarian said:
"If Turkey has decided to join the European Union, it should be able to
confess its faults and by doing so to achieve the right to join EU. In
order to make part of EU, Turkey first of all should be europeanized".
