Expert: Turkey’s official policy on Armenian Genocide has not changedApril 11, 2011 - 13:08 AMT PanARMENIAN.Net - Turkologist Levon Hovsepyan said that Turkey spares no effort to prevent possible recognition of the Armenian Genocide by third countries on the threshold of April 24. It is illogical to speak about establishment of any contacts with the Armenian Diaspora under such conditions, Hovsepyan told a press conference in Yerevan. “Turkey tries to present the Armenian Genocide as a psychological problem, which can be resolved through a dialogue with Armenia and Diaspora. Imitation of the Armenian Genocide discussion in Turkey does not have an impact on Ankara’s official policy, which remains unchanged. Turkey’s policy of blackmailing continues. Ankara uses all possible levers to prevent the Armenian Genocide recognition in the U.S and criminalization of the Genocide denial in France,” he said.
