YEREVAN. - The Armenian Genocide's recognition issue is juridical,
and not historical, turkologist Artak Shakaryan told news reporters
Tuesday, when visiting capital Yerevan's Armenian Genocide Memorial,
Armenian News-NEWS.am journalist informs.
He stressed that this issue does not resolve with a mere
acknowledgment, since the matter of compensation will clearly come
about.
In Shakaryan's words, the fact that numerous countries have recognized
the Armenian Genocide bespeaks that the issue has transferred from
one dimension to another, and now the society speaks more about moral,
financial, and territorial reparations.
"Genocide is a crime, and it must be investigated and condemned. And
the perpetrators must be brought to account," the turkologist said.
