"THOSE WHO JUSTIFY THE TURKS, LET THEM SHARE THEIR MOTHERS, WIVES AND CHILDREN WITH THEM."
February 16 2015
According to Sergey Shakaryants, no need to criticize the Declaration
On January 29, upon the completion of the session of the State
Committee coordinating the events to commemorate the Centennial of
the Armenian Genocide, the ceremony of publication of the Pan-Armenian
Declaration on the 100th anniversary of the Armenian Genocide was held
at the Genocide Memorial site, which was unanimously passed during the
session of the State Committee coordinating the events to commemorate
the Centennial of the Armenian Genocide. The above mentioned document
was read by President Serzh Sargsyan. It was announced that the Alma
copy of the Declaration shall be given to the Armenian Genocide Museum
-Institute, one copy, as Serzh Sargsyan mentioned, will be sent to
the Secretary-General of the United Nations, and one more will be
sent to Armenia's national archives. The adoption of the Declaration
was followed by discussions among the social, political, cultural
and other circles, which implies that there were also criticism, in
particular to the fact that the text of the Declaration is incomplete.
In this regard, the 2nd President of Armenia Levon Ter-Petrosyan
expressed his view, criticizing that it is provinciality and does
not represent the notion of unity of entire Armenians.
To the question of "Aravot" of whether the Armenian Genocide
Declaration is a successful document or not, political analyst Sergey
Shakaryants said that he does not understand the people who are
criticizing a document knowing that it is remembered in Armenia with
a sad expression, with wrong category of history. "We are realize
that the centennial of this crime should somehow be accessible and
understandable to the outside world. We understand that there should
be some thing. And whether the public is unanimous or not, that's
another matter, the public may have different thoughts of why it had
happened. The entire Armenian people do not doubt that there was a
crime that should be condemned. To share the opinion of those saying
that this or that sentence in the document was necessary or not, I do
not agree, maybe an other, a more substantial document was necessary
and it does not matter which direction different political and social
forces are oriented. I am surprised that Turkish-people-admirers
are found in our society, and I would exile such people to Turkey,
those who love the Turks, let them love and go to live with the Turks.
Fortunately, we have not forgotten that 60 %of Turkey is Armenia,
therefore, go and live there, but do not violate the rights of other
segment of the society - to hate the Turks and remember what had
happened, the genocide."
Sergey Shakaryants also thinks that no need to find explanations to
justify the Turks. And the people who believe that our nation has also
its share of guilt, offers to go and share everything with the Turks.
"Let them share their mothers, wives and children. If Turks were good,
the neighboring nations would not expel them....No need to diminish
the grief of the Armenians as nation. The enemy must have its place..."
