"SHAME ON PRESIDENT OBAMA, IT IS HIS SHAME." RICHARD KIRAKOSYAN
April 22 2015
Ankara, Washington, London have a position of not using term "Genocide"
.This opinion has the "Strategic and National Research Center`s"
director Richard Kirakosyan. To our question whether there is a
hope that this year, US President Barrack Obama will say the word
"Genocide", he replied. -"I cannot answer that question, but I can say
shame on him, shame on President Obama, it is his shame, not ours ".
Asked whether there are conditions that Turkey will make concessions,
the analyst said. That this is not the problem of "if", but it is
a problem of "when": when the Turkish government will recognize the
Armenian Genocide. And "when" should be sought in Turkish politics.
-"International pressure on Ankara as a result, I think will
increase." Referring to the scheduled events on 100th anniversary of
the battle of Gallipoli in Turkey he said. -"It has increased focus on
the events of the Armenian Genocide on April 24, the 100th anniversary
commemoration of the events and weakened the attention of Gallipoli
events. Leading politicians rather inclined toward the arrival to
Armenia than to Turkey." Asked whether the Armenian-Turkish relations
can have any developments he said. -"The burden of responsibility
falls on Turkey, the issue really is the issue of Turkey. Only after
the elections in Turkey on June 7 will be possible to say something
but the "problem" is on the Turkish side."
