As Ramkavar Azatakan party leader Harutyun Arakelyan told a news conference in Yerevan, RA parliament must criminalize negation of Armenian Genocide. “Besides, Armenia has to develop a specific international law- based program envisaging compensation for 1915-1923 losses to Armenian people, with similar program covering compensation for 1988-1994 Armenian Genocide in Azerbaijan.” “Until the steps above are undertaken, international community will keep pressuring Armenia,” Harutyun Arakelyan said, characterizing international recognition of Armenian Genocide as a moral victory, but not yet legal.
