    GENOCIDE CENTENNIAL: TURKISH POLICIES POWERLESS AGAINST GLOBAL ANTI-DENIAL CAMPAIGN

    11:35 * 22.04.15

    The world countries' negative stance on Turkey's policy of denial marks
    a major turning point in the Armenian Genocide recognition campaign,
    according to a Turkologist.

    Commenting on the recent developments around the process (including
    the European Parliament'sresolution and the joint statement adopted by
    the Austrian Parliament's lower house), Vahram Ter-Matevosyan said he
    believes that they raise a great wave of protest against the country.

    "My approach is that we have crossed one landmark boundary, that is,
    Turkey's state policy of denial is rejectable to the world. This is an
    important, landmark phase asserting the non-denial," he told Tert.am.

    Highlighting the value of recognition by any country or international
    organization, Ter-Matevosyan said he thinks that it is necessary to
    thank them all for faithfulness to universal human principles.

    "It is necessary to also admit that Turkey's denial has assumed large
    scales over the recent years and to appreciate the dedication that
    those countries' parliaments and societies demonstrate in this period.

    That contains a very important moral and civilization potential for
    the Armenian people," he added.

    Asked what scenario he expects in the Turkish-German relations in
    case Germany recognizes the Genocide, the Turkologist said he doesn't
    think that the future developments will cause the two countries to
    revise attitudes to each other. He noted that Germany is a key ally
    for Turkey in the European Union.

    "First, Germany will have made the right step in terms of
    re-establishing historical justice; Germany's complicity in the
    Armenian Genocide is a known fact as it is. So it will be perceived
    as a right and timely step. The recognition and affirmation of the
    fact of Genocide by Germany will be yet another contribution to this
    important endeavor which has gained momentum over the recent period.

    And it will tighten the circle that has developed around Turkey
    recently," he noted.
