The 100th year of Armenian Genocide and the events organized on that
occasion will open a new page for international awareness on the
genocide and new revelations of its still unstudied pages. During
today's all-Armenian conference of heads and representatives of
Diaspora organizations Hayk Demoyan, director of RA NAS Armenian
Genocide Museum-Institute, said that Armenia-Diaspora cooperation
must also become an important impetus for distinct formulations on
concept groundings concerning elimination of consequences of the
Armenian Genocide.
Hayk Demoyan attached high importance to conduction of events on the
occasion of 100th year of the genocide, which will have both local
and international significance. According to him, it is important that
the theme of the genocide, its lessons and consequences are presented
and commented in the context of the world and local history and memory.
According to the Director of the Genocide Museum, the initiatives of
the Armenian party must promote that the topic of the Armenian Genocide
is not perceived only as an Armenian-Turkish issue. "Instead, giving
them an international resonance, one of the most important goals of
the Armenian party must be international recognition of the Armenian
Genocide and promotion to condemnation process," Hayk Demoyan said,
adding that we have well-consolidated structures in Diaspora, which
have played huge role in condemnation of the genocide and increase
of international competence, so the combination of efforts is very
important in this issue.
Reconciliation with Turkey will start by the time that country
recognizes the genocide it has committed, Hayk Demoyan stressed.
In international recognition of the genocide in Armenia-Diaspora
cooperation Hayk Demoyan attached importance to division of work:
RA diplomatic missions must work wherever Armenia has its deed as
an international legal subject, and Diaspora structures must work
wherever they can have a role.
