The year 2015 should not be treated as the end of something either
from psychological or other points of view, Director of the Armenian
Genocide Museum-Institute Hayk Demoyan said at a discussion dedicated
to how Armenia and Turkey are preparing to mark the 100th anniversary
of the Armenian genocide in 2015.
According to Demoyan, 2015 should become a new opportunity, a new
starting point in the search for new routes.
Hayk Demoyan says there are several major issues. one of them is
whether Armenia will apply to international courts or not.
Expert of Turkish studies Artak Shakaryan said the society expects
something serious in 2015. Therefore, the steps should not be
restricted to organizing scientific conferences and publishing books,
he said.
Expert Anush Hovhannisyan said an important achievement is the fact
that the Armenian Genocide is being condemned in academic circles.
According to Deputy Dean of the Oriental Studies Department of the
Yerevan State University Ruben Melkonyan, our scholars have done
a huge work in that direction, and Turkish scientific works are
uncompetitive in this regard.
Participants of the discussion agreed that it's necessary to intensify
the propaganda to break the taboos inside the Turkish society. These
steps will bring the Turkish public face to face with their own
history, Ruben Melkonyan concluded.
