/PanARMENIAN.Net/ Groups of influence which could lobby the interests
of the Armenian people in the Rada have not formed yet, a Ukrainian
political scientist said.
"Any civilized person knows that 1915 events constituted a genocide,"
Mikhail Pogrebinsky said.
The problem is that President Viktor Yushchenko discredited the theme
of Genocide among the Ukrainian public, according to him.
"It's conditioned by the fact that the hunger of 1930ies when millions
of people died is used now to monger hostilities between Ukraine and
Russia. The incumbent authorities gamble on the memory of the victims
to play of their political games," he said.
At the same time he supposes that the level of the Armenian-Ukrainian
relations is not sufficient.
"Ukraine's foreign policy problems have emerged because of
the leadership's ambitious plans and servility to the United
States. Armenia is beyond Ukraine's schemes, that is why it has been
not paid proper attention so far," Pogrebinsky said, Analitika.at.ua
reports.
