Armenian government officials are openly promoting Turkish denial approaches - ARFD
ArmInfo. "As we approach the next anniversary of the Armenian Genocide, we are faced with new
ontological challenges. Today, more than ever, it is necessary to restore the protection of our inalienable rights" reads a statement by the Hay Dat Bureau.
It is noted that in the last few years, hostile attacks by the
Turkish-Azerbaijani tandem against Armenia and the Armenian people
have acquired new impetus.
"It is obvious that one of the consistently dictated preconditions is
also the requirement to abandon international recognition of the fact
of genocide.
Representatives of the Armenian government have already openly begun
to promote Turkish denial approaches. The other day, statements were
made regarding the genocide committed by Ottoman Turkey against the
Armenian people, which until today were put forward only by official
Ankara and are exclusively Turkish theses. This position of the
"Civil Contract" authorities is an intolerant step aimed at casting
doubt on the fact of the Armenian Genocide.
In turn, the political leader of the country characterizes the
Genocide committed against its own people as "Metz Yeghern" (Great
Massacre), actually rejecting the legal and political assessment,
which was confirmed by Armenian and foreign historians and
researchers of the genocide and was accepted and condemned by the UN
Commission on Rights human rights and a number of other international
organizations, courts of many countries, including parliaments and
governments and heads of state of superpowers," the statement further
reads.
"Hay Dat" added that in the same context, an attempt is being made to
contrast historical and real Armenia, our past and present, the
Motherland and the state.
"It is obvious that such denial on the part of the ruling force is a
consistent continuation of the adopted policy of concessions to
Turkish-Azerbaijani coercion. And such behavior of the current
authorities of the Republic of Armenia, which is supposedly aimed at
normalizing relations with Azerbaijan and Turkey and achieving peace,
will not only not contribute to the establishment of peace and
stability in the region, but will confirm the precedent of resolving
issues by force or the threat of force, which is contrary to
international law.
It is noteworthy that this reprehensible policy is being carried out
in a context where the Ankara-Baku axis has committed genocide
against the Armenian population of Artsakh and subjected Artsakh to
ethnic cleansing. At this very moment, Azerbaijan continues cultural
genocide in Artsakh in the same style with which Turkey has been
erasing Armenian traces in Western Armenia for decades.
However, there is no doubt that the Armenian people, both in Armenia
and in the Diaspora world, are firmly in possession of their just
rights, and no government in Armenia has the right to deny these
rights," the statement further reads.
