Russian historian: Turkey should recognize the Armenian Genocide
Turkey should recognize the Armenian Genocide of 1915, as the fact is grounded by undisputable proofs, head of 19th century department at the State Historical Museum, PhD in history Viktor Bezotosny has told a REGNUM correspondent.
According to him, the question of recognizing the “historic truth” is a question of time. “The whole world knows about the events of 1915 and calls them Genocide. It strange, that only one country rejects it and tries to misinterpret and escape from historic facts. There good and bad pages in history of any country. Well, they should maker bold and take responsibility to tell the truth, otherwise memory of those killed in those awful years is being defiled,” Viktor Bezotosny is quoted as saying. The historian believes that the Armenian Genocide of 1915 and the Holocaust are results of domestic policies pursued by countries that committed such villainy.
It is worth mentioning, Russia recognized the Armenian Genocide officially. Fact of the Genocide was recognized by many countries, including France, Uruguay, lower chamber of the Italian parliament, several US states, parliaments of Greece, Cyprus, Argentina, Belgium, Wales, Swiss National Council, Canadian House of Commons and Polish Seym.
