    "I'M SURPRISED WE STILL ARE SITTING HERE DISCUSSING WHETHER THE GENOCIDE TOOK PLACE OR NOT". THE PROSECUTOR OF THE INTERNATIONAL CRIMINAL COURT

    April 23 2015

    "This was a Genocide, which was committed against Armenians, Assyrians
    and Greeks by the Turks. These mentioned genocides have played a
    significant role in the formation of our organization", - said the
    International Association of Genocide`s president Daniel Feuerstein
    at global forum "Against the Crime of Genocide", who has been in our
    country for the first time and considers a great honor to be here to
    participate in the events dedicated to 100th anniversary of Armenian
    Genocide .He said. - "The international community is willing to fight
    against genocide denial". Daniel Feuerstein drew attention to the
    fact that the genocide ultimate goal is not the individuals but the
    destruction of the group. -"The perpetrators considered Armenians
    as not an element of earth's history forming part and were trying to
    achieve homogeneity of the modern state by pan-Turkism ". Feuerstein
    underlined that today more attention is paid to the idea of global
    genocide than to an understanding of others' suffering. On the opening
    of the forum Luis Moreno-Ocampo, who was the first prosecutor of the
    International Criminal Court (2003-2012), noted that the existence of
    such a court has already shown that we are moving forward. -"There
    was no such court in 1915 and in 1945 began the new international
    court, based on the Nuremberg events". He stressed that the most
    important challenge today is the creation of a clear position that
    the past life will come into concrete action. -"Armenia is having the
    need to take the advantage. When the world is unified it is easy to
    prevent Genocide, although the one who has committed Genocide knows
    how to influence other countries (business, economy, etc.)". Luis
    Moreno-Ocampo said this adding that they should constantly work with
    Armenia in order to understand how to achieve the recognition of
    the Armenian Genocide. - "I'm surprised we still are sitting here
    discussing whether the Genocide took place or not".
