spiritual value system, the more it is proud of its country," said ARF
Dashnaktsutyun leader Vahan Hovhannisyan at the international "Cultural
Genocide" conference held in Yerevan. He cited the example of Irish,
Turkish and Polish people holding religious and spiritual values,
whereas Armenians, Greeks and Russians - as least preserving them.
Hovhannisyan noted that usually Armenian Diaspora keep up traditions
more than those living in the country. This encompasses Armenians,
French, Greeks and other nations. "This is why Turks seek to cut
links between Armenia and Diaspora and sow discord within Diaspora
structures," he emphasized.
According to him, there are three approaches to Genocide: Turkish --
that fully denies Genocide, European-American, saying that Genocide
was perpetrated by another country and under other rulers, as well
as Armenian - Genocide occurred and the more - reaches out to our days.
Its most dangerous outcome today is extermination and conversion of
cultural heritage. "This conference proves that we are waking up and
ready to prevent it," the politician concluded.
