Vigen Sargsyan: I see only two states denying Armenian Genocide
Armenia has clearly stated its position on the Armenian Genocide: the stage of historical studies is in the distant past, and one has numerous opportunities to study history in Turkey, Vigen Sargsyan, Chief of the RA Presidential Staff, told Tert.am as he commented on Turkish President Recep Erdogan’s proposal for committee of historians.
“Turkish politicians and historians know this history as well as Armenian historians do. So I think that the stage of historical studies is in the distant past,” Mr Sargsyan said.
As to whether Turkey is succeeding in deceiving the international community, Mr Sargsyan said:
“I have not so far seen any international representative that would deny the Armenian Genocide or claim that crime has never been committed. I have often heard that political figures in some countries say they do not consider it advisable to recognize the Armenian Genocide for certain political reasons. I see only two states denying the Armenian Genocide – Turkey and Azerbaijan.”
