YEREVAN, 23 JANUARY, ARMENPRESS. Seizure of the homeland of the
Armenians was the main purpose of the Armenian Genocide, and on
that occasion, Armenia must raise that issue, as well as the issue
related to the territory of the Republic of Armenia, the territory
which, by legal documents, has been recognized as legally a part of
Armenia and is still seized by Turkey. This is what Head of Modus
Vivendi analytical center Ara Papyan said during a January 23 press
conference, as "Armenpress" reports. "Armenian-Turkish relations
don't exist. Turkey is hostile. If Turkey had a chance to eliminate
the Armenian State without any negative consequences for Turkey
tomorrow, it would do it. If Armenia raises the issue that Turkey
is occupying Armenia, the world would change its attitude towards
Turkey," Ara Papyan said, adding that the 100th anniversary of the
Armenian Genocide should have become an opportunity for Armenians to
state their claims and reestablish their rights.
According to the political scientist, Armenians need to explain to
the international community that their goal is not recognition of
the Armenian Genocide, but acceptance of the consequences of the
Genocide that continue to have an impact on Armenia since our lands
and resources were taken away and people were killed.
