Friday, April 19, 17:28
Few professionals dealing with a problem of the Armenian genocide
recognition, are aware of the fact how closely are linked with each
other the events of 1915 in Ottoman Turkey and those in Azerbaijan
in 1918-20, political expert Levon Melik-Shakhazarov said at today's
press-conference.
In this context, he criticized the work of Armenia's Foreign Ministry
and said that it does not take the needed efforts for development of
this issue and does not use its potential. "Mainly, our compatriots
living in abroad have been dealing with a problem of international
recognition of the Armenian genocide, thanks to their enthusiasm. And
they are not even supported from Armenia. However, one should take
into account that such a situation cannot last long", - he said.
"Our country has been taking no efforts to study materials in archives
and to reveal all the facts that prove genocide. Moreover, scientists
do not study the problem at the needed level, as unfortunately, they
do not get the needed financing...This will undoubtedly negatively
affect Armenia's positions in this issue", - the expert said.
He also added that historical facts are evidence of the fact that in
1918-20 250-270 thsd Armenians were killed in Azerbaijan. "There is
little information about the genocide of that period, as immediately
after those events, in 1920 all the archives were closed and we
managed to open them in the 90-s", - he said.
