"RAMKAVAR AZATAKAN" PARTY CALLS FOR CONDEMNING GREAT BRITAIN AS
ACCOMPLICE IN ARMENIAN GENOCIDE
"Denying the Armenian Genocide, the officials of the British Foreign
Ministry become equal with the current Turkish authorities that
carried out the third stage of the genocide, i.e. hiding and
liquidation of the proofs for the crime against humanity," Haroutiun
Arakalian, Chairman of the Board of "Ramkavar Azatakan Party" of
Armenia, said this at today's press conference. He said that the Great
Britain became an accomplice of the compaign launched by "The
Committee for Defence of Turkish People" to recall the demands of
Edinburg and Quenet cities to recognize the Armenian genocide in the
Ottoman Turkey. In response to the question of the "committee" and the
mass media sources, the English diplomats stated that "the events that
took place in 1915-1916 do not keep in line with the UN convention on
genocides," adding that "at present, it is hard to shape a full idea
or evaluate the events that happened 90 years ago in the war times."
The Board of "Ramkavar" party emphasized that the denial of the
Armenian Genocide became a tradition for the British
diplomats. Arakelian stated that one of the British diplomats tried to
doubt about the fact of Holocaust, but the was immediately shown away
from Israel by the official Tel Aviv. The party calls for RA Foreign
Ministry to send a note of protest to the British Foreign
Ministry. They blame the British diplomats for their ignorance and
require where disappeared 5 million of Armenians registered as
citizens of Ottoman Turkey in 1914. "The British diplomats may get a
detailed answer to this easy question, if they only look through "The
Blue Book" issued in 1916 by the order of the British Foreign Ministry
and written by Lord Price. Or they may get familiarized with the
historical documents accumulated by Agapi Nasibian in her "Great
Britain and the Armenian Cause in 1915-1923." The party members state
that if the public protest and the diplomatic steps yield no results,
the Armenians have only one thing to do, i.e. to blame the Great
Britain as the accomplice of Turkey, as according to the UN
definition, hiding and liquidation of facts about Genocide are
included in the third stage of a Genocide.
As for any cooperation with Armenia political forces in the course of
the coming elections, he said that his party is ready to cooperate
with "Bargavatch Hayastan" and "Dashink" parties. He stated that
"Bargavatch Hayastan" and "Dashink" parties are not established for
falsifications. He added that his allies and party members are ready
to take all measures to announce illegal the elections in elections in
the polling stations where violations were revealed. Haroutiunian
stated that his colleagues have elaborated 20 variants of tactics that
will help avert violation cases.
As for Serge Sergsian membership to the Republican Party of Armenia,
he said that it is quite normal. But he added that the party's
expectations to receive 22-23% of votes at the parliamentary elections
is an open hint at their intention to use the administrative
resources. He denied the information that his party is led by Ara
Abrahamian, chairman of Union of Armenians of Russia. He said that
cooperation with Ara Abrahamian yielded no political dividends for
them, stating it's incorrect to link the activities of a party that
has rich political traditions to one person. He emphasized that there
are over 8 thousand party members "Ramkavar Azatakan" party of
Armenia.
