“Armenian Genocide differs from other genocides”

The Armenian Genocide differs from other genocides since we were deprived of our homeland, Armenian people’s extermination on the ethnic or religious ground pursued the goal of banishing us from our native land and seizing Western Armenia, Director of the Institute of History at the National Academy of Sciences of Armenia, historian Ashot Melkonyan told a press conference.

According to the historian, to speak about a real compensation today which was legally recorded on August 10, 1920 by great powers is “to speak about Armenia’s security, to voice to the world the fact that, unfortunately, Armenia deals with the same country committing genocide.”

“The Turkish policy of denial is continuation of the very policy of genocide,” Melkonyan stressed.
