YEREVAN, AUGUST 10, ARMENPRESS: None of the parties signed the
Sever Treaty has annulled it; hence that Treaty cannot be recognized
invalid. "Turkey has always been afraid of the Sever Treaty, as big
states have always used that as a levy toward it," Director of the
History Institute of the Armenian National Academy of Sciences Ashot
Melkonyan said today at a press conference. August 10 is the day of
signing of the Sever Treaty.
Ashot Melkonyan noted that during the years of the Soviet Union it
was not spoken about the Sever Treaty, and it was looked upon as
an ordinary paper, but it is not so. "The Sever Treaty is a very
important document. The implementation of that treaty will condition
the victory of the historical justice," the director of the History
Institute of the National Academy of Sciences said.
A. Melkonyan also referred to the issue on recognition of the
Armenian Genocide saying that in contrast to other genocides, we
have been deprived of our homeland. "Turkey, implementing a policy
of Pan-Turkism, deprived the Armenian people of the homeland, so,
speaking today of compensation, which the big states have already
once ratified, is quite fair," he noted.
