ANCA STATEMENT ON DAVUTOGLU VISIT TO ARMENIA
[ Part 2.2: "Attached Text" ]
December 6, 2013
ANCA Executive Director Aram Hamparian issued the following statement
on the upcoming visit to Armenia by Turkey's Foreign Minister Ahmet
Davutolglu (December 6, 2013): Turkish Foreign Minister Davutoglu's
upcoming visit to Armenia for a December 12th regional conference
shines a spotlight on Ankara's continued use of its Protocols to
escape liability for mass murder, vast theft, and the wholesale
dispossession of a nation of its ancestral homeland.
The Armenian nation and all peoples should use this visit
by a leading official of a perpetrator state to the land of its
surviving victims to strengthen our call for a truthful, just, and
comprehensive international resolution of the Armenian Genocide.
In coming to terms with its responsibilities, Turkey must not only
end its denials and stop its obstruction of justice, but also cease
its century-long policy of anti-Armenian aggression, strangulation,
and coercion rooted in the legacy of this still unpunished crime.
The United States and our partners in the international community,
rather than abetting Ankara by arm-twisting Yerevan into a politically
untenable and morally unacceptable policy of "normalization without
justice," should be pressing Turkey to forfeit its genocidal gains,
to fully return all it has stolen, and to fairly compensate the
Armenian nation for its vast and ongoing losses.
The Armenian Genocide - an act of premeditated mass murder
and national dispossession - is not a bilateral "conflict" to be
reconciled, but rather an ongoing international crime that all nations,
not Armenia alone, have a moral and legal responsibility to punish.
