RECOGNITION OF ARMENIAN GENOCIDE AN IMPORTANT FOREIGN POLICY STEP FOR UKRAINE - EXPERT
July 10, 2013 | 18:25
Ukraine's recognition of the Armenian Genocide at the legislative
level will be an important foreign policy step on the way of Ukraine's
establishment as a regional leader in the Black Sea basin.
Creation of Kiev-Yerevan-Sofia triangle will serve as a deterrent of
pan-Turkic sentiments in the region, says the article by Ukrainian
public figure Dmitry Snegiryov.
Presenting details of Armenian history, the expert notes that,
under the Convention on the Prevention and Punishment (1948), and
the Convention on the Non-Applicability of Statutory Limitations to
War Crimes and Crimes Against Humanity, Turkey's actions against the
Armenian people must be considered as an act of genocide, the purpose
of which was extermination of ethnic and religious groups.
"The victims of the genocide policy against the Armenians were more
than 1.5 million representatives of this nation. Western Armenia was
deprived of its native population. The Young Turks solved the Armenian
issue by physical extermination of the indigenous population of these
lands," the expert is quoted by Analitika.at.ua.
As Armenian News-NEWS.am informed earlier, a bill on the Armenian
Genocide's recognition was registered on June 6 in the Verkhovna Rada.
Ukrainian parliament members Arsen Avakov and Vilen Shatvoryan are
the persons behind this law proposal.
