GENOCIDE NOT THE ONLY CRIME AGAINST ARMENIANS, ARMENIAN OFFICIAL SAYS
- Turkish Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdogan's letter to the Armenian President Robert Kocharian, proposing to set up a joint commission of historians to study the Armenian issue, was a smart attempt to trick the international community, Armenian National Assembly Vice-speaker Vahan Hovhannisian said in his report last week at the NATO-organized Rose-Roth seminar in Yerevan.
Hovhannisian, who also is a member of the Armenian Revolutionary Federation Bureau, said that besides the 1915 Genocide, Turkey has committed another crime against Armenians when in 1919, it unleashed a war against the independent Republic of Armenia.
Before the Turkish aggression -- supported by the Russian Bolsheviks -- Armenia's territory was 70,000 square kilometers, and as a result of the war, Armenia lost the regions of Kars, Ardahan and Surmalu as well as the populations of those regions. Hovhannisian said it was an aggression against a sovereign state, and many of the issues currently destabilizing the South Caucasus region have been stemming from that very aggression.
Those issues include the Armenian-Azerbaijani and Armenian-Turkish confrontations. Therefore, Hovhannisian concluded, it would be more effective to set up an intergovernmental commission, as proposed by President Kocharian in his response letter, rather than a commission of historians. Speaking of Turkey's aspiration to join the European Union, Hovhannisian said the Turkish society is not yet ready to accept such European value as admitting guilt. "The Turkish society must first change itself," he indicated.
Hovhannisian also hailed Turkish historian Halil Berkta's position that 1915 events should be qualified clearly as genocide. "His speech would be rather useful for those Armenian politicians who repeat the Turkish official position that the Armenian Genocide was a result of the Armenian Revolutionary Federation's activities," he added.
