  Shahan Kandaharian: Vatican archive documents to blank Armenian Genocide denial policy   July 11, 2011 - 17:51 AMTPanARMENIAN.Net - Disclosure of secret archives may become critical in global acknowledgement and condemnation of the Armenian Genocide, the article ‘Vatican Archives and following stages’ of Shahan Kandaharian, editor of Beirut-based Aztag daily says. “The documents from Vatican archives will be a matter of interest for scholars engaged in Genocides study,” Kandaharian writes. “These documents will throw daylight upon the reality that the fact of international acknowledgement of Armenian Genocide is indisputable, and the time has come for Armenia to concentrate power and fight for compensation,” the article runs. The author of the article believes that disclosure of the Vatican archives will blank the denial policy of Armenian Genocide pursued by the Turkish government and will shake the whole Christian world. Kandaharian notes that there are documents and testimonies in the Vatican archives about unprecedented brutality and violence, exercised with regard to Armenian children, in particular. After disclosure of documents to public, Turkey will no longer be able to state that events of 1915 have been armed conflict, as a result of which both Armenia and Turkish sides suffered losses, according to Kandaharian. According to Italian media outlets as reporting last week, the Vatican will co-publish a book with documents and information about the Armenian Genocide. Monsignor Sergio Pagano, the clergyman who runs the archives said “when I read documents about the torture practices used by the Turks against the Armenians, I feel an irrepressible sense of pain and horror.” The prefect of the Vatican Secret Archives also announced that within two or three years the documents for this period will be ready to be published.
