"We do not need the phrase &'Meds Yeghern', as they translate it at
their discretion. We also say 'yeghern' but not for avoiding the word
'genocide', it is dishonest of them," head of Armenian Cause office and
ARFD member Giro Manoyan told the journalists Monday. He also noted
that unlike this April 24, last year Obama had an excuse (April 23,
2009 statement on Armenia-Turkey roadmap) not to say 'genocide'.
According to him, Woodrow Wilson's arbitral award should be a legal
base for a demand to recognize Armenian Genocide. In case presently
suspended Protocols are ratified, Armenian side will possibly lose
this opportunity.
Manoyan stressed that Armenia as a state has no precise program on
certain moves to put forward the Genocide issue, instead it expects
Turkey's steps to react. Dashnaktsutyun member deems that doing so
Armenia opens door for Turkey and enables Ankara to interfere with
Karabakh peace process.
He underlined that Genocide recognition process is completed and
presently we should start a new phase to switch the matter to legal
framework.
