ArmInfo. "As we approach the next anniversary of the Armenian Genocide, we are faced with new ontological challenges. Today, more than ever, it is necessary to restore the protection of our inalienable rights" reads a statement by the Hay Dat Bureau.
It is noted that in the last few years, hostile attacks by the Turkish-Azerbaijani tandem against Armenia and the Armenian people have acquired new impetus.
"It is obvious that one of the consistently dictated preconditions is also the requirement to abandon international recognition of the fact of genocide.
Representatives of the Armenian government have already openly begun to promote Turkish denial approaches. The other day, statements were made regarding the genocide committed by Ottoman Turkey against the Armenian people, which until today were put forward only by official Ankara and are exclusively Turkish theses. This position of the "Civil Contract" authorities is an intolerant step aimed at casting doubt on the fact of the Armenian Genocide.
In turn, the political leader of the country characterizes the Genocide committed against its own people as "Metz Yeghern" (Great Massacre), actually rejecting the legal and political assessment, which was confirmed by Armenian and foreign historians and researchers of the genocide and was accepted and condemned by the UN Commission on Rights human rights and a number of other international organizations, courts of many countries, including parliaments and governments and heads of state of superpowers," the statement further reads.
"Hay Dat" added that in the same context, an attempt is being made to contrast historical and real Armenia, our past and present, the Motherland and the state.
"It is obvious that such denial on the part of the ruling force is a consistent continuation of the adopted policy of concessions to Turkish-Azerbaijani coercion. And such behavior of the current authorities of the Republic of Armenia, which is supposedly aimed at normalizing relations with Azerbaijan and Turkey and achieving peace, will not only not contribute to the establishment of peace and stability in the region, but will confirm the precedent of resolving issues by force or the threat of force, which is contrary to international law.
It is noteworthy that this reprehensible policy is being carried out in a context where the Ankara-Baku axis has committed genocide against the Armenian population of Artsakh and subjected Artsakh to ethnic cleansing. At this very moment, Azerbaijan continues cultural genocide in Artsakh in the same style with which Turkey has been erasing Armenian traces in Western Armenia for decades.
However, there is no doubt that the Armenian people, both in Armenia and in the Diaspora world, are firmly in possession of their just rights, and no government in Armenia has the right to deny these rights," the statement further reads.
