YEREVAN, MAY 11, ARMENPRESS: In Spanish newspaper "El Imparcial" was
published the article "It is time for Turkey to recognize Armenian
genocide" the author of which is writer, analytic of Strategic and
International studies center "Elcano" attached to Foreign affairs
ministry of Spain William Chislett. He is a great expert of Turkish
history and policy. Armenpress partly presents the article.
I have always used with difficulty the term "genocide" as I did
not know much about the topic but after getting acquainted with the
materials and photos of victims in Genocide Museum in Yerevan, after
reading the book of Akcham I accept that term.
Turkish Government unlike European Parliament, parliaments of more
than 20 countries, Vatican, which have recognized the events of the
beginning of 20-th century as genocide, refuses that fact.
"Almost a century has passed already and it does not seem that
Turkey is planning to apologize or accept his fault. The sensuality
of Turkish Government over this issue was well noticed last year when
year French Parliament accepted the bill criminalizing the denial of
Armenian genocide. It created the angriness of Ankara which interrupted
its political and military relations with France. It is the time for
Turkish Government to recognize Armenian genocide and turn that page.
