Pan-Armenian Declaration best answer to Turkey - Ruben Safrastyan
14:40 * 30.01.15
The Pan-Armenian Declaration on the 100thanniversary of Armenian
Genocide is an unprecedented event - Armenia, Artsakh
(Nagorno-Karabakh) and the Armenian Diaspora issued the first-ever
joint declaration, Ruben Safrastyan, Director of the Institute of
Oriental Studies, told reporters on Friday.
"I am deeply convinced that the common will the Armenian people is
showing on the threshold of the anniversary of the Armenian Genocide
is the greatest benefit.
"The declaration is evidence that all Armenians perceive the issue as
requiring tremendous efforts and that Armenia, Artsakh and the
Armenian Diaspora are acting jointly. This is the best answer to
Turkish authorities' policy," Mr Safrastyan said.
The declaration proves that it is time for the issue to be considered
in its legal respects.
"We must start the most serious work and carry it through - having the
issue considered in its legal respects thus achieving our historical
aim. Yes, for decades we have made efforts at recognition and
condemnation of the Armenian Genocide, and it is time for the issue to
be considered in legal respects. I think the relevant work will be
done at a proper level," Mr Safrastyan said.
