Expert: Genocide issue becomes more intricate for Turkey

PanARMENIAN.Net - Head of the Regional Studies Center named several areas where Armenian Genocide recognition campaign is waged.

As Richard Giragosian told a press conference, the foreign policy Armenia pursued in recent years yielded tangible progress in Genocide recognition.

“Turkey spends more resources for promotion of its denial policy as the number of countries that back it gradually becomes smaller. The closer Armenian Genocide 100th anniversary is, the more intricate the issue becomes for Turkey. It is noteworthy that Azerbaijan has intensified its support for Turkish denial policy,” the expert said, forecasting tougher Azeri pressures on Armenia and NKR after Azerbaijan assumes presidency of the UN Security Council.

Mr. Giragosian further stressed the need for considering the problem of Turkey and Azerbaijan in the context of its interrelation with other genocides.
