Avigdor Eskin: Armenian Genocide is a historical fact, but it`s  better to spend energy on strengthening Armenia and lawsuits against  Turkey

ArmInfo.  <No need to pass any  laws in the parliaments, to engage in the recognition and  non-recognition of the Armenian Genocide. Perhaps on such a day my  point of view may be inappropriate, but this is not a position of  denial, because it is unacceptable and immoral to deny a historical  fact. I'm just a supporter of a different path>.

This was stated in  an interview with ArmInfo correspondent by Israeli political  scientist and public figure Avigdor Eskin, commenting on the  initiative of Knesset deputy Yair Lapid to once again offer his  colleagues to consider a bill on the Armenian Genocide.

<I do not really understand the very concept of promoting resolutions  on the recognition of the Genocide in parliaments of the countries of  the world. Well, 30 countries accepted it today, tomorrow a few more  will be added. What will change? What, thanks to this, will the  Turkish political elite become more conscientious or will it change  hard stubbornness to fragile sentimentality? And one more thing: the  fact of the struggle for recognition in parliaments gives legitimacy  to "non-recognition", turning an irrefutable historical fact into a  discussion platform>, the political scientist believes.

In his opinion, it is necessary to act, directing resources not to  lobbying in parliaments, but to thoughtful, well-structured active  work with the world community through the organization of university  and scientific programs, spending money on monuments and special  events, and most importantly - on political and legal support Armenia  to organize legal claims against Turkey. Genocide is a historical  fact that requires the start of a large-scale campaign to return to  Armenia its property, large compensation payments, both material and  moral, rather than voting in parliaments.

<Of course, there is a serious moral side of things, a deep wound,  but in politics, including in big international politics, full of  opportunistic wind rose, it seems to me counterproductive to discuss  historical facts in this way. It would be if, imagine, we Jews today  would engage in discussion with foreign politicians and deputies of  issues related to the numerous historical facts of pogroms and ethnic  cleansing of the Jewish population in a particular country: I repeat,  it's unproductive, ineffective and nothing, ultimately does not. You  see this after thirty years of efforts>, Avigdor Eskin emphasized.

В том, что все пройдет гладко по Вашему совету, есть большие сомнения. Где падаль, там и хищники. Большие деньги всегда вызывали нездоровый ажиотаж. Кроме того встает вопрос потратили деньги, а что дальше. В какой мере удовлетворили Ваш народ денежные репарации Германии Разве деньги сами по себе помогли, и Вам лично, решиться подавать руку последующим поколениям немцев и вести с ними все дела Нельзя в такой мере полагаться лишь на материальные ценности. В противном случае ни мы, ни вы, еврейские братья, не дождемся ответа на вопрос — почему, а главное — больше никогда. 04.2020

Г-н Эскин, может быть вы и правы, в чем-то, при создавшемся на сегодняшний день статус кво. Сомнения вызывает, однако, Ваша уверенность дать совет в проведении монетарного направления в политике. Хотелось бы спросить Вас о том, в какой мере удовлетворили Ваш народ репарации Германии за нанесенный именно моральный ущерб. Хватило ли Вам этого лично , чтобы подать руку последующим поколениям немцев и вести с ними все дела Нельзя так полагаться лишь на материальные ценности. Мы не выполним своего долга в память жертв - невинных армянских крестьян, женщин, стариков, детей.

К сожалению, пока в современном мире для признания исторической истины нужно этим заниматься. Но по нарастающему числу стран, принявших Геноцид армян и призывающих не забывать о преступлениях, совершенных в прошлом, ради лучшего будущего, появляется вера и надежда в то, что мир станет правдивее и гуманнее.
