Does UN act in Turkey's favor?

PanARMENIAN.Net - No definite country was mentioned in the document, however it was mentioned that "ignoring the denial of the historical fact of the terrible Holocaust runs the risk of its repetition". The date was chosen in honor of the liberation day of the prisoners of the largest concentration camp Oswiecim, January 27, 1945. Laws banning the Holocaust denial are applied in 9 EU Member States - Austria, Belgium, Germany, Lithuania, Poland, Rumania, the Slovak Republic, France, and the Czech Republic.

The adopted Resolution causes embarrassment. On the one hand everything is quite obvious - genocide, in its any kind of manifestation must be recognized and condemned. On the other hand it is a double standard policy, which by the way shows its worth in its most obnoxious form. The slaughter and deportation of 2 million Armenians in the Ottoman Turkey, which was placed on a national basis, is considered only "tragic events of 1915". Bewilderment is caused by another article of the Resolution, which says that "ignoring the historical fact of the terrible Holocaust runs the larger risk of its repetition". This is what Armenia has just been talking about for so long, mentioning that if in due time the League of Nations had recognized "the events of 1915" as a Genocide, it could have helped to avoid the Holocaust, or at least the later wouldn't be on such a large scale. However it did not, and thus impunity of the murders on racial grounds followed one another. Nevertheless Hitler's famous phrase, which is denied by the Turkish historians, was uttered. One very essential detail should be mentioned here; according to some sources, the slaughter of the Armenians, was "provoked" by Germany, which was Turkey's ally in the First World War. The German advisors of course didn't call the Turks to exterminate the Armenians, but they didn't display great efforts to stop them from doing it either. In 1915 the German Ambassador to Istanbul, Wangenheim was asked to stop the deportation, for he was able to do that. But he didn't, grounding on the absence of the instructions from Berlin. By the way, according to some sources in 1915 Wangenheim died from cardiac rupture. It is said, he couldn't endure the stories about the horror in Western Armenia. But all this is already in the past, and we are more concerned with the present, which is full of anti-Armenian propaganda disseminated by the Turkish Government. "Historical indisputability of the Holocaust is nothing but reality, and it must be condemned, but the denial of the Armenian Genocide, which is still continuing on a rather large scale, is of more vital importance than any case of the Holocaust denial. Here the real point is that the Armenian Genocide must not be disregarded. The Armenian Genocide was the first in the XX Century and is immediately linked with the Holocaust, dated later. One should not put any difference between them, as the denial of the Armenian Genocide is the denial of the Holocaust. Besides, the hypocrisy is obvious - even today Genocides are committed in Darfur, Rwanda and the international community does very little to stop them", says expert Richard Giragosyan. Another question that comes to mind is; what are the politicians guided by while adopting such Resolutions? Maybe by the number of the victims? Does it really make any difference how many people were killed - - one and a half million, six, or even if only one person? Genocide is genocide, arithmetic is not needed here. Or else once again the Armenians become victims for the Turkey's sake, whose turning its back to the West is completely undesired.
