Yesterday Turkish media outlets have reported faked story about
Charles Aznavour. Read below an interview with Charles Aznavour,
who is Armenian Ambassador to Switzerland.
-In your book titled "From one door to another" you speak about
Armenian Genocide and say that Genocide is a word which is preventing.
-It is a word which is preventing for me. Maybe my statement will
make some Armenians hostile with me, but it's not scaring. If the
Turks are really so honest to say that they're scared by this word,
we'll find another word to open the borders, to start the dialogue.
- Why is it so scaring for the Turks to recognize that tragedy?
- If I'm not mistaken when we toast we say for your health, when the
Jews toast they say for your life and while the Turks say for your
credit. They must be taught that credit has two faces, you cannot
but defend yourself, you must face the truth also.
- One and a half million, this is really big for a small country.
- Two or one and a half million, it's the same. When two kids or one
and a half million Armenians or 6 million Jews are killed, it's the
same thing. They've killed, they wanted to do that. This is the most
important thing.
- And all those victims have been left without grave.
- Yes, and this harms me. There are some places in Deyr-el-Zor,
where you can find bones in the sand.
