SHARMAZANOV: POSITION OF TURKEY DOES NOT INSPIRE OPTIMISM
Wednesday,
April 24
"Turkey will recognize the Armenia Genocide sooner or later, they
cannot lie endlessly," the vice speaker of Armenian parliament Edward
Sharmazanov told reporters at Tsitsernakaberd Memorial Complex.
In his words, only 15 years ago nobody in Turkey spoke about the
Armenian Genocide, whereas today this issue is discussed by Turkish
intelligentsia.
He underlined the necessity of fighting for human rights so that such
crimes will not be committed anymore. "Yet the position of Turkey does
not inspire optimism," Sharmazanov said, adding that any changes in the
thinking of the Turkish authorities will hardly occur within two years.
He expressed an opinion that Turkish statesmen should follow the
example of their intelligentsia who accepted the dark pages of their
history.
