YEREVAN. - The First World War gave the opportunity, time and chance
to the Ottoman Empire to carry out its pre-planned crimes against
Armenians.
Armenian Genocide Museum-Institute Director Hayk Demoyan, who is
also Secretary of the Armenian Genocide 100th Anniversary Events
Coordinating State Committee, stated the above-said.
He noted the aforementioned at the international scientific conference,
which is devoted to the Caucasian front during the First World War,
and which got underway Monday at the Armenian Genocide Museum-Institute
in capital city Yerevan.
In Demoyan's words, all World War I episodes, especially those that
occurred at the Caucasian front, are very important for Armenia,
since the military operations in the area were taking place against
the background of the perpetration of the Armenian Genocide.
"Turkish authorities are attempting to hide, this year as well, the
world recollection on the Armenian Genocide in their country. This fact
should help so that we [Armenians] present the truth, not propaganda,
to the world.
"Ultimately, the Armenian Genocide is a part of the recollection
and history of not solely the Armenian people, but of Turkey and the
Turkish people," Hayk Demoyan stressed.
