    YEREVAN, JULY 5, ARMENPRESS: Geopolitical and economic interests of
    powerful countries and sometimes conflict of those
    interests lay obstacles for recognition of Armenian genocide. About
    this mentioned Prosecutor General of Armenia Aghvan Hovsepyan
    during the second session of pan-Armenian conference of lawyers
    organized by the ministry of Diaspora. `Armenpress' reports that
    Aghvan Hovsepyan expressed satisfaction that suh conference has been
    organized by the ministry of Diaspora which can lay light on
    many legal issues of Armenian genocide and become serious stimulation
    for studying of Armenian genocide from legal point of
    view. `The discussed topics are very interesting and up-to-date.
    Many countries have already recognized and condemned Armenian genocide
    but unfortunately this issue has not been solved totally.
    For that reason the recognition of the genocide by this or that
    country give us only feeling emotional satisfaction,' said
    Hovsepyan.

    He mentioned that often the issue of recognition or non-recognition of
    Armenian genocide became a tool for stressing Turkey. `We
    must make conclusions from it. Both recognition of Armenian genocide
    and regulation of Armenian-Turkish relations should have
    international-legal guarantees. And we -Armenian lawyers, have to
    implement that difficult task', he stressed adding that we cannot say
    that Armenian lawyers have not done anything for legal guarantees of
    recognition of Armenian genocide but they especially young ones
    must continue the necessary researches and analyzes in this sphere.

    Aghvan Hovsepyan considers the fact that Armenian genocide has been
    fundamentally proved undisputable. He stressed that there are
    many evidences of it - testimonies of eyewitnesses, letters, diaries,
    official documents and etc. There are also self-confessions of Turkish
    authorities which are fixed in court decisions of 1919-1920. `During
    those years Turkish courts implemented many cases in which Turkish
    politicians, militarists and officials have been sentenced for mass
    killings of Armenians and deportations. Those sentences are legal,
    official
    evidences condemning Armenian genocide which can be litigated with
    difficulty even by current Turkish nationalists. I think that this
    direction of legal researches has prospects and will be efficient,'
    mentioned Prosecutor General.

    Speaking about the commitment of young lawyers Aghvan Hovsepyan
    considered that the elimination of consequences of Armenian
    genocide is connected with compensation. He is sure that heirs of
    victims must receive material compensation, to Armenian Church must
    be returned the churches, Republic of Armenia must receive its lost
    territories ant etc.

    Prosecutor General is concerned also with today's reality. He is
    concerned by the fact that high-level Azerbaijani officials declare
    that
    Syunik and Yerevan are Azerbaijani territories. `We today listen to
    this absurd and keep silence. I agree that it is really absurd, it is
    obvious lye. We advise Azerbaijanis to get acquainted with the works
    of ancient historians where even name `Azerbaijan' is not known. But
    won't it be more efficient to present well-grounded counter-claim?' he said.
