Turkologist: Armenia managed to bring Turkey to bay
The Pan-Armenian Declaration on the Centennial of the Armenian Genocide was drawn up correctly, with provisions of the Declaration of Independence of Armenia and the UN Conventions being indicated, Turkologist Hakob Chakryan told a press conference today.
“The circumstance that the UN convention on genocide has a retroactive effect is of importance because Turkey’s representatives constantly say that the convention was adopted in 1948 and is not applicable for the 1915 events. Armenia has managed to bring Turkey to bay. Having no counter steps, Turkey resorts to unbalanced actions, while Erdogan makes silly statements,” Chakryan said.
“In parallel with the progress of the Armenian Genocide recognition process, Turkey’s denial policy is becoming more and more aggressive,” he said.
