YEREVAN, JANUARY 28, ARMENPRESS: The Holocaust would not take place if
the Armenian Genocide was prevented, Jewish ombudsman, co-author of
"Respect for Memory of Armenian Genocide Victims" book Serge Klarsfeld
said in an interview with La Liberation French newspaper, citing
Hitler's well-known phrase - "Who remembers the Armenians now?"
According to the scientist, only the fact that denial of the Holocaust
is criminally punishable in France obligates to do the same in the
issue of the Armenian genocide, Armenpress reports.
In answer to the newspaper's question that, nevertheless, there are
historians who do not consider the Armenian pogroms a genocide, Serge
Klarsfeld said: "Very often historians themselves do not want to face
the history, but in this case nothing impedes to carry out serious
studies."
According to the human rights defender, in this way the French
Parliament indicates a moral landmark in the field of politics.
"Hereafter judges will do their work not on the basis of history but
law," said Serge Klarsfeld.
