the tragedy

YEREVAN, 6 FEBRUARY, ARMENPRESS. An Armenian artist and clergymen
attach importance to not only the demand for elimination of the
consequences of the Armenian Genocide, but also the study on the
motives behind it. During a press conference,artistic director of the
Hovhannes Tumanyan State Puppet Theater of Yerevan Ruben Babayan
mentioned that the Centennial has to serve as an opportunity to study
and analyze issues and learn from the lessons. "These days we're
talking about elimination of the consequences of the Genocide, but
we're not talking about elimination of the causes of the Genocide
since there is always a danger of Genocide," he said, adding that one
of the lessons to be learned must be that the Armenian people have to
rely not on others, but on themselves.
Director of the Office for Conceptual Issues at the Mother See,
Father, Bishop Bagrat Galstanyan agreed that we still don't see people
talking about the causes and added that they should have been doing
that many years ago. "Perhaps people are afraid of talking about the
causes. If people want to show the phenomenon of the Armenian Genocide
through culture, they have to do that with a clear strategy and under
conditions. It has to be viewed within the general ideology," His
Holiness Bagrat mentioned.
Both the artist and the clergyman agreed that there is a need to
create a new idea around which all Armenians will unite.
