We should leave the Armenian Genocide not to historians but to
lawyers, Turkish studies expert Artak Shakaryan told reporters in
Tsitsernakaberd.
According to him, 97 years after the Genocide, we continue to demand
recognition and compensation, return of territories, but unfortunately
we don't know what territories we want to return - Kars, Ani, or the
entire territory of Western Armenia?
"We talk about compensation, but we don't know how much money we demand
and by what mechanism," the expert said and added that currently we
should combine our efforts towards giving answers to these questions.
Turkey insists on denying the fact of Armenian Genocide perpetrated
by the Ottoman government in the early 20th century.
The Armenian Genocide has been recognized and condemned by Uruguay
(1965), the Republic of Cyprus (1982), Argentina (1993), Russia (1995),
Canada (1996), Greece (1996), Lebanon (1997), Belgium (1998), Italy
(2000), Vatican (2000), France (2001), Switzerland (2003), Slovakia
(2004), The Netherlands (2004), Poland (2005), Germany (2005),
Venezuela (2005), Lithuania (2005), Chile (2007), Sweden (2010).
