    HAYK DEMOYAN: MORE COUNTRIES WILL RECOGNIZE ARMENIAN GENOCIDE BY APRIL 24

    /PanARMENIAN.Net/ Recognition of the Armenian Genocide is a tribute
    to historical memory of many states in whose archives the fact of
    the Genocide was registered, according to Hayk Demoyan, Director of
    Armenian Genocide Museum Institute.

    As he told a news conference in Yerevan, Genocide issue must not
    become a subject of political manipulations. "More countries will
    recognize the Armenian Genocide by April 24," Mr. Demoyan predicted,
    maintaining that recognition will be linked to Turkey's position on
    Protocols ratification.

    Dwelling on historical committee formation, he said that to the
    best of his knowledge, no activities to create the committee are
    being undertaken.

    Commenting on Turkish Prime Minister Erdogan's statement on possible
    deportation of 100 000 Armenian migrants from Turkey, Mr. Demoyan
    characterized it as a result of excessive nervousness. "Turkey seems
    unworried about the fate of thousand illegal Turkish migrants in
    Israel, when accusing the country of committing genocide," he said,
    adding that Turkey has serious problems in working out long-term
    strategies.

    The Armenian Genocide (1915-23) was the deliberate and systematic
    destruction of the Armenian population of the Ottoman Empire during
    and just after World War I. It was characterized by massacres, and
    deportations involving forced marches under conditions designed to
    lead to the death of the deportees, with the total number of deaths
    reaching 1.5 million.

    The majority of Armenian Diaspora communities were formed by the
    Genocide survivors.
