    `Let the issue of Genocide be entrusted to Jewish lawyers.'

    October 11 2013


    Arshaluys Tcheknavorian-Aisenbauer's `prescription', this time, had
    two occasions to visit Armenia: to be awarded with `Movses Khorenatsi'
    award on October 10 by the RA presidential decree, and the other
    occasion was the school N5 after her father, Haykaz Tcheknavorian,
    which was built in Artashat under her sponsorship. We asked the woman
    living over 50 years in Austria to introduce the Australian-Armenian
    community, which was led by her son, Hayk Aisenbauer, for seven years.
    Arshaluys Tcheknavorian-Aisenbauer said that not only in Austria but
    also in the whole Diaspora, Armenians are not united, the national
    institutions are split and do not have friendly attitude towards each
    other. `Unfortunately, we do not believe in unity, we do not respect
    and love for one another, as soon as one makes achievements, a
    jealousy arises. Armenians are more united to diminish the person.
    Previously we did not have an independent country, and the activities
    of institutions established outside were understandable: Armenian
    Revolutionary Federation, Armenian Democratic Liberal Party,
    Henchakian Party, and so on and so forth. And, now, what do these
    institutions serve for in Diaspora? The political groups must be
    consolidated, let's look at the Europe, by uniting the thoughts, let's
    make a good country, Armenia. What are the Armenian Revolutionary
    Federation, the Armenian Democratic Liberal Party, the Benevolent
    doing, are they polarizing in the Diaspora?' Our interlocutor thinks
    that at least the Genocide and its recognition should unite all
    Armenians. For example, she has lectured at Bratislava regarding this
    matter. Working 40 years in the United Nations, being in 170
    countries, she has accumulated rich experience. She says that she has
    studied the UN Genocide Convention, and tried to understand how it can
    be served for the issue of Genocide. According to Ms.
    Tcheknavorian-Aisenbauer, Armenians while raising this issue should
    emphasize the idea that they wanted to annihilate, eliminate
    Armenians, and more. `We, Armenian, are very wrong that we think that
    the genocide is over and it has happened in 1915-1918. The genocide is
    going on, at that time we were exposed to red genocide, now ` white.
    Once the Turks, cooperating with the Bolsheviks, demanded Nakhichevan
    and Karabakh, they, being affected by Masons, consider us a reason on
    the way to recover pan-Turkic Empire.' Ms. Arshaluys mentioned that
    her son has brought evidences in his scientific thesis that Russia had
    no right to hand over Karabakh and Nakhichevan to Azerbaijan, because
    there was no such Article in the Constitution, which does not give us
    the right to donate others lands to someone else. Our interlocutor
    said that we need to present our issue in a foreign country in a
    competent form, relevant to people's psychology and traditions. `I am
    living in Austria for 50 years, my husband is an Austrian, Ervin
    Aisenbauer who has turned to Armenia and speaks Armenian, but I can
    not speak about genocide, like my son, Haik Aisenbauer. When he was
    the Chairman of the Armenian community, on April 24, he was inviting
    the Austrian government leaders, senior officials, and shows a film
    about the genocide. Once, after all of this, he stood up and in fluent
    German said that it is a shame that Austria has not recognized the
    Armenian Genocide so far. If I were to say, the Austrian would say,
    who are you? While he is Aisenbauer, he speaks better German than they
    do. I saw how Austrians applauded, and then they surrounded him. And,
    so, every year. He is trained in Germany, every year he sends the film
    `Disaster' in German to the diplomats, members of Parliament. Famous
    German people speak there about the genocide, the Armenians do not
    talk, it sounds from their mouths. The new president of the Armenian
    community also does it, and this action has provided a great response
    in Austria and Germany.' Arshaluys Tcheknavorian-Aisenbauer thinks
    that we should not emphasize that in 1915, we had 1.5 million victims.
    `Our massacres started since 1850²s. If we want to celebrate the 100th
    anniversary of the Armenian Genocide, we need to emphasize that it had
    been earlier. To the point, the Turks decided to celebrate a holiday
    in 2015 to cast a shadow on events of our 100th anniversary. They even
    want to invite government representatives of various countries. If we
    are smart, in 2015, we would present to the whole world with our
    intellect, we will show the Turks that they had not broke, we will
    celebrate the 100th anniversary in 2016 with great splendor'. Ms.
    Arshaluys suggests her solution of Genocide recognition. She says that
    the issue should be moved from the field of feelings to the field of
    common sense, and to raise the issue of Genocide through the aliens.
    `Let a square be built in Yerevan, where all foreigners who spoke
    about the genocide will be presented there. Let the streets be
    renamed, for example, a German public figure, clergyman Johannes
    Lepsius, Raphael Lemkin, who introduced the term genocide into
    circulation, the 28th President of the U.S. Woodrow Wilson, Henry
    Morgenthau, who condemned the Armenian Genocide. Moreover, it would be
    better that representatives from the U.S. Government are invited for
    the opening of Wilson Street, from Germany ` for Lepsius Street, even
    Merkel will come, she is a protestant woman. Let you invite rep from
    Israel to open Lemikin Street, it will be a slap to Turkey and to
    those denying the Genocide, and it is a good option to voice about the
    Genocide. Or in 1913-14 period, the Catholic Church has repeatedly
    sent a letter to Ottoman government to let the Armenians alone. Maybe
    you will find out who the Pope was at that time, and invite the Pope
    of Rome to open such a street. Otherwise, when we say that we were
    massacred, is very little.' According to formulation of our
    interlocutor, there are numerous sues in the European Court of Human
    Rights against Turks, and it would be better to hire well-known Jewish
    lawyers to present our trial over there. `All Armenians should be
    united and set up a Foundation, every Armenian will make certain
    contribution, and those well-known non-Armenian lawyers will introduce
    the issue of Genocide. If we prepare an appropriate file with the
    worldwide attorneys, the Turks definitely will sit at the negotiation
    table.' Gohar Hakobyan `Aravot' daily
