YEREVAN, APRIL 3, NOYAN TAPAN. Armenia recorded great achievements
in the issue of recognition of Armenian Genocide, as almost all big
states of the world have recognized the Genocide. Corresponding member
of the RA National Academy of Sciences, Doctor of Historic Sciences
Nikolay Hovhannisian expressed such an opinion in his interview to
Noyan Tapan correspondent.
He said that recognition of the Armenian Genocide by such a mighty
country as the U.S. will be a great moral victory for the Armenian
people. In H. Hovhannisian's opinion, it is possible that after
it Turkey will also have to recognize the Armenian Genocide, which
will create new possibilities for a positive solution of problems
accumulated in Armenian-Turkish relations.
H. Hovhannisian does not exclude that on April 24 U.S. President
Barack Obama will pronounce the word "genocide." According to him,
B. Omaba's main slogan was the word "change," which regarded both
foreign and domestic policy. "It seems that B. Obama has been a man of
his word up to the present and indeed uses that "change" in a number
of spheres. It will be very sad if he does not keep his promise and
does not pronounce the word "genocide" in his April 24 speech. It
will disappoint not only the Armenians," N. Hovhannisian said.
