On the threshold of the 100th anniversary of the Armenian genocide,
Turkey has been trying to sow discord within Armenian Diaspora
structures by all means, to sabotage numerous events - scientific
conferences, exhibitions and forums, and these attempts are becoming
obvious, Director of the Armenian genocide Museum-Institute, Hayk
Demoyan said at today's press-conference.
The Turkish party has drawn out a strict strategy for neutralizing
of the possible influence and actions from our side. These attempts
have been taken in two directions - the interference in the Diaspora
structures as well as parallel organizing by the Turkish party of the
"response" conferences and exhibitions in different countries of the
world, where the topic of the genocide is presented by the Turkish
interpretation. The second direction are the attempts to cause interior
distractions within the scientific circles of Armenia and Diaspora",
- Demoyan said.
One such sabotage was taken by Hasan Jemal - a grandson of one of
the organizers of the Armenian genocide, Jemal Pasha. Demoyan said
that when he organized an exhibition of the Armenian Museum Institute
of the Armenian genocide in Paris, it became clear that at the same
time Hasan Jemal held presentation of his book in Paris and invited
representatives of the Armenian genocide to the event. "Let them
think that I am a racist, though it is not fit a scientist, but I
simply call on our compatriots both in Armenia and Diaspora to remain
unprovoked and to be on the alert, as Turkish secret services are
implicated in 9 out of 10 events organized by the Turkish party",
- he said. He also added that many representatives of the Turkish
scientific circles have been purposefully trying to implement quite
dangerous theories about the "kind Turks which saved Armenians". The
purpose of such statements is to deflect attention away from the key
problem and escape discussion of the main topic. "By coming of the
24 April 2015, the counteraction from the Turkish party will grow",
- Demoyan concluded.
