No plans to hold serious events in Armenia on the threshold of the
Centenary of the Armenian Genocide are observed yet, turcologist
Artak Shakaryan said at today's press conference in Yerevan.
"The State Commission on Coordination of the Events Dedicated to the
Centenary of the Armenian Genocide promised earlier that it would
present the list of events in January. But the month is coming to its
end and I have seen no list so far. Unfortunately, the Armenian public
is more informed of Turkey's steps and countermeasures than Armenia's
further steps. For instance, we know that Turkey is going to erect in
April a monument to those killed by ASALA. In addition, large-scale
events dedicated to the Battle of Gallipoli will be held on April 23.
As for Armenia, it is still unclear what we are going to do", the
expert said.
Shakaryan thinks it would be a serious job to open Armenian Genocide
Museums in large cities such as Moscow, London, Paris, New York by 24
April 2015. "I would also like the countries that have recognized the
Armenian Genocide to dedicate at least one page in their textbooks to
the topic of the Armenian Genocide. If no such measures are taken,
all the other exhibitions, films and conferences become secondary,
halfway measures taken by Armenia", he said.
