Armenia's Greek community does not forget about the genocide of
the Pontian Greeks perpetrated by Turkish nationalists under the
guidance of Mustafa Kemal Ataturk, the head of Greek community of
Armenia stated.
As Arkady Khitarov told a news conference in Yerevan, the recognition
and condemnation of the genocide is gaining impetus, specifically in
U.S. and Australia.
"Armenia's struggle for recognition of 1915 Genocide is an example
for the Greek nation," he said.
Speaking about whether modern Turkey is ready to acknowledge its past,
the head of the community characterized it as a country, which brings
up generations on fictional history.
In reply to a PanARMENIAN.Net reporter's question if Turkey, which
denies the fact of perpetrating the genocide of Christian nations,
will be permitted to join the EU, Khitarov expressed hope that the
Europeans will not allow it.
