Expert: Ankara continues policy of denial
The time has come to change our tactics in the Armenian Genocide issue: we must try to achieve a resolution of this issue in the legal area, Turkish studies expert Gevorg Petrosyan told reporters on Saturday.
He attached importance to activities in the public, information and propaganda areas, meanwhile adding that it is time to take new steps and look for long-term and efficient ways.
Gevorgyan offered to set up a commission of leading local and foreign experts to assess the prospects the Armenian side will have if this issue is transferred to the legal field.
Regarding Turkey’s policy ahead of the Armenian Genocide centenary, the expert said that despite the fact that several groups in Turkey have begun to openly speak about the Armenian Genocide, Ankara continues its policy of denial.
“Turkey wants May to come as soon as possible, this is obvious,” he concluded.
