Harut Sassounian, the publisher of The California Courier newspaper,
addressing the Armenian Genocide at a news conference, said he has
a special approach to the issue. According to him, Armenia does not
have to proceed with the efforts towards demanding the recognition
of the crime.
"We all the time speak about pursuing the international recognition of
the Genocide but I don't think it makes sense. The Armenian Genocide
has already become widely acknowledged," he said, enumerating the
countries, including the international organizations which have
recognized the tragedy.
"We know that the Genocide has taken place; the world is aware of
the fact. We cannot make the Turks recognize it by either force or
documents, so let them do whatever they like.
"This is probably a global expression, but Armenia's government has to
pursue its steps, protesting against the injustice committed against
our nation," he said, stressing the need of involving Diaspora's
potential in demanding compensation from the powerful neighbor.
