YEREVAN, DECEMBER 6, ARMENPRESS: The issue on Armenian Genocide
recognition is not a historical, but a political one, Secretary of RPA
faction Eduard Sharmazanov said, referring to the recent statement of
deputy chairman of the Turkish ruling Justice and Development Party
Haluk Ipek, which he voiced during a meeting with US Ambassador in that
country. Ipek said that Turkey is ready to open the historical archives
and discuss the Armenian Genocide issue within a historical platform.
Sharmazanov qualified those statements as senseless. "I inform that
42 out of 50 US states have recognized the Armenian Genocide. The
court of the same Ottoman Empire has sentenced the organizers of the
Armenian Genocide to death. All the advanced humanity has recognized
the Armenian Genocide," said Sharmazanov.
