Tom Samuelian: Turks are afraid to unmask themselves (video)
A conference dedicated to the 100th anniversary of the Armenian Genocide will be held at the Armenia Marriott hotel in Yerevan on December 6. Head of the Center for Excellence in Negotiation – Yerevan, Stepan Khzrtian, says the conference entitled “Recognition of Armenian Genocide and Retribution: Way to Restore Historic Justice” is a good opportunity to raise our voice once again. “We expect that besides the key speakers, international experts will also make speeches during the event. We have already sent out invitations to all embassies in Armenia and even to some Turkish specialists,” he said. Tom Samuelian, the Dean of the College of Humanities and Social Sciences of the American University of Armenia (AUA), says it is always difficult to unveil crimes but it is high time that Turks recognized the crime they carried out against Armenians. “Turks have always feared their own history and can take any unpredictable step to protect themselves. Our primary goal should be to pose our definite demands and demand an adequate compensation,” he said.
