Germany assists in France's Genocide denial efforts - expert
14:37 - 28.01.12
Germany has assisted France in elaborating the bill that penalizes the
Armenian Genocide denial, an Armenian expert has said.
Political analyst Levon Shirinyan told reporters on Saturday that the
European countries' measures might be aimed at either banning Turkey
from Europe or restraining the country, or else, holding it
accountable.
''But Europe faces a lack of labor force. The birth rate in those
countries is also problematic, with the Turks having a dynamically
developing youth. Both Europe and Armenia have demographic problems
that they cannot resolve. The Turks manage to do that successfully,''
he said.
The expert further pointed out to the developing Russia-Turkey relations.
''Over the course of its history, Turkey twice appeared on the brink
of vanishing, and both times it was saved thanks to Russian weapons
and Russian assistance,'' he noted. ''If Russia's steps in the Artsakh
[Nagorno-Karabakh] issue conflict with our interests, Armenia will
have to consider its political orientation.''
Shirinyan stressed the importance of continuing the French efforts in
Russia to make the country adopt a similar bill. He said such measure
could guarantee Armenia's security in future.
