U.S. will never recognize `genocide' of Armenians and not to impose
criminal prosecution for its denial
Baku, Fineko/abc.az. U.S. Secretary of State Hillary Clinton stated
the U.S. Administration's position on the issue of "genocide" of
Armenians in the Ottoman Empire in 1915-17 and criminalizing its
denial.
"One of the strengths of the U.S. is we do not punish people for their
statements. People can say almost anything they want. In the U.S.,
they do so. Other countries may have different standards and rules.
But I hope that we will never punish anyone for their utterances," she
said.
In her view, the question of recognition of "genocide" of Armenians
must be decided not by politicians but by historians.
"Involvement of a state for solving such issues is very dangerous
practice. It is needed to allow to both sides to speak, and we urge to
do that. Gather the evidence, tell about your arguments and be
prepared to participate in the discussion," Mrs. Clinton said.
