Ramkavar Azatakan offers to criminalize negation of Armenian Genocide

PanARMENIAN.Net – Ramkavar Azatakan party of Armenia urged Armenian government to undertake specific steps to remedy omissions allowed in the issue of international recognition of Genocide.

As Ramkavar Azatakan party leader Harutyun Arakelyan told a news conference in Yerevan, RA parliament must criminalize negation of Armenian Genocide.

“Besides, Armenia has to develop a specific international law- based program envisaging compensation for 1915-1923 losses to Armenian people, with similar program covering compensation for 1988-1994 Armenian Genocide in Azerbaijan.”

“Until the steps above are undertaken, international community will keep pressuring Armenia,” Harutyun Arakelyan said, characterizing international recognition of Armenian Genocide as a moral victory, but not yet legal.
