18:11, 18 April, 2013
YEREVAN, APRIL 18, ARMENPRESS: Issue of the recognition of Armenian
Genocide is the main direction of the Armenian external policy, and
what about international recognition of the Genocide it has received
a great response all over the world. During April 18 Yerevan-Moscow
video bridge this was declared by Director of the Institute of
Oriental Studies of the National Academy of Sciences of Armenia
Ruben Safrastyan. He underlined that about 20 countries had already
recognized Armenian Genocide and many are underway.
Safrastyan highly evaluated the document accepted by Russian State
Duma, which condemned the Genocide committed in Western Armenia. He
has noted that "Western Armenia" is highlighted in the text of the
document, thanks to which the document completely differs from the
other documents accepted by the parliaments of other states.
During the video bridge Member of the Public Chamber of the Russian
Federation Denis Dvernikov has noted that for him it's just difficult
to understand how a man can turn into a beast. "I cannot understand
how people are able to massacre a whole nation, kill innocent children
and women and then behave like nothing happened," he said. Dvernikov
has informed that a document is currently being discussed in Public
Chamber of the Russian Federation, due to which it is planned to
criminalize Holocaust denial. He also noted that they would spare no
effort for provision criminalizing the Armenian Genocide denial to
be included in the document.
On April 24 people in different countries of the world will mark 98th
anniversary of Armenian Genocide.
