Silence about the Armenian Genocide has become a deafening silence,
Armenia's President Serzh Sargsyan stated in his exclusive interview
given to the Quotidiano Nazionale magazine of Italy.
"The Armenian Genocide continues to be a forgotten calamity. In the
case when we know everything about the Jewish Holocaust, a thick
curtain has been pulled over the extermination of the Armenians. This
is what I call a double standard. One-and-a-half-million Armenians
were massacred almost a hundred years ago. [And] How many people in
the world truly recognize this reality?", Armenia's President asked.
As per Sargsyan, silence about the Armenian Genocide has become a
deafening silence for all humanity. "Especially since Europe has won
the Nobel Peace Prize, it will now make its voice be heard. And with
respect to Armenia, we found the courage to commence the process
of normalizing our relations with Turkey, but [official] Ankara
conditioned the process on unacceptable terms. Today, [and] together
with the EU, US, and Russia, we await Turkey to change its stance,"
Armenia's President stated.
