“WE CONDEMN THIS FRIVOLOUS POLICY”
Support A1+!The Centre for Armenian National Culture (Germany), The Initiative for Armenian Democrats (Germany) and the Committee for Armenian Democrats (Sweden) issued a statement which runs, “We condemn Serzh Sarkissian's statement made during a Moscow visit. Armenia's President voices support to Turkey's proposal to set up a commission to study historic facts. Serzh Sarkissian puts the issue of the Genocide into question with his step.”
For centuries the Armenians spread all over the world have directed painstaking efforts to the international recognition and condemnation of the Armenian Genocide. Many governments, parliaments, social and political institutions, international organisations, world-known scientists, historians, writers and political figures have already recognised the historic fact. Some countries have even adopted laws on punishing all those who will refute the Armenian Genocide claims.
Before making such irresponsible statements Serzh Sarkissian should think of their possible outcome.
Armenia's President ignores the fact that the Armenian Genocide has been recognised by many countries and by the European Parliament. He ignores the massive efforts of the Armenian Diaspora, the vicious assassination of Hrant Dink and numerous other facts and supports Turkey's thesis to study whether genocide has ever been perpetrated.
The President's policy doesn't reflect the Armenians' interests and betrays the 1.5 million Armenians killed during the Genocide.
We condemn this frivolous policy and call on Serzh Sarkissian to give up that treacherous and perfidious idea.
