APRIL 24 PSYCHOLOGICAL THRESHOLD FOR TURKEY - ARTAK SHAKARYAN
December 22, 2014 17:07
April 24 is a psychological threshold for Turkey, and Turkey thinks
if it proves able to step over this threshold and have the term
'genocide' removed from resolutions, pressure on it will lessen,
expert in Turkic studies Artak Shakaryan told reporters on Monday.
STEPANAKERT, DECEMBER 22, ARTSAKHPRESS:As regards the possibility
of the European Union (EU) using the Armenian Genocide as a means
of pressure on Turkey, amid the deepening Russian-Turkish relations,
Mr Shakaryan said:
"Our wish is that EU go back to 1987, when, by approving the
resolution, it showed Turkey that its way to the EU was problematic."
As Tert.am reports, Turkey is not actually moving toward Europe, and
the EU has not so many means of pressing it as the USA. Armenians
view the centennial of the Armenian Genocide as an opportunity to
raise the issue of retribution in the context of restitution.
International recognition of the Armenian Genocide should be raised
to a new level. Creating an international network of Armenian Genocide
museums is a good idea suggested by Director of the Armenian Genocide
Museum-Institute Hayk Demoyan.
"We should realize whether we demand entire territory of Western
Armenia or we will be content with the 'Wilson agreement.'"
According to Mr Shakaryan, even Turks that admit the fact of the
Armenian Genocide consider territorial compensation unrealistic.
