Genocide scholar: We are ready to fight for recognition of genocide against Armenians
Today I want to reaffirm that the genocide scholars’ community is ready to fight against the denial and for the recognition of the genocide perpetrated against the Armenians, Daniel Feierstein, President of the International Association of Genocide Scholars, said at the International Social and Political Global Forum against the Crime of Genocide.
He stressed that one hundred years ago the Turks perpetrated a genocide against the Armenians, Greeks and Assyrians.
After presenting theories about genocide, Mr Feierstein said that the aim of the genocide was to annihilate not the members of the group, but the entire group.
“Some claim that even the annihilation of a part of an ethnic group constitutes genocide,” he said.
Daniel Feierstein expressed his gratitude to Armenia for organizing the forum.
