BRATISLAVA, JUNE 5, NOYAN TAPAN - ARMENIANS TODAY. Starting dialogue
on historic fact, Turkey has only one goal - to create an illiusion,
to prove to Europe that it's a completely ready country for membership
to the European Union and finds a free, openly speaking and civilized
way even in the Armenian Genocide issue to prove its "truth." Ashot
Grigorian, the Chairman of the Europe Armenian Organizations'
Representation, the head of the Armenian community of Slovakia stated
about it, giving explanations to a number of representatives of
mass media of Slovakia on the issue of recognition of the Armenian
Genocide on the way of Turkey's membership to the EU. "Thus, first
of all, the fact of a dialogue, if it takes place, is already very
benefitial for Turkey.
It's natural that it's needless and harmful for Armenia," he
explained. "A country that has blocked for dozens of years documents
of the Armenian Genocide in its archives and today states that it
is ready to open its archives in front of specialists, does anybody
doubt that all the documents containing proves will have been cleaned
from those archives? Even more, how one believe a country which puts on
trial its scientists in the case of expressing any true idea concerning
the Armenian Genocide and even adopted a criminal law relating to the
issue," Grigorian mentioned. It, according to him, is such a laughable
fact that after it, demagogic proposals of a dialogue uncover today's
diplomatic weakness of Turkey. According to the Chairman of the Europe
Armenian Organizations' Presentation, Turkey's worthy panishment for
that demagogy will be to take the second step as well by countries
adopted resolutions on the Armenian Genocide, thus, to make resolutions
adopted by parliaments like a law, in the case of what refusal of the
Armenian Genocide will become criminally punishable. He finds that
European Armenian communities must settle down that affair just now,
in works with parliaments of their countries.
