Ruben Melkonyan: U.S. sacrifices justice for the sake of its interestsDecember 22, 2010 - 18:30 AMT PanARMENIAN.Net - Turkologist Ruben Melkonyan said that since America is known as a country, which stands for human rights protection and democracy preservation, the adoption of H. Res. 252, the Armenian Genocide resolution, is first of all necessary for it. Otherwise, the image of the country, which is an advocate of democracy preservation, will be shaken, Melkonyan told a press conference in Yerevan. However, the Armenian expert noted that currently the American-Turkish relations are of greater importance for the U.S. than the Armenian Genocide recognition. “Unfortunately, the U.S. state interests are above justice restoration,” Melkonyan said, adding that the U.S. will recognize the Armenian Genocide when it meets its state interests.
