Alpha News presents Ani Avetyan’s Real Turkey project.
Watch this episode:
– Interview with President of the International Association of Genocide Scholars Melanie O’Brien and the former President of the same association Henry Theriault
– O’Brien does not believe that the Armenian authorities should make concessions in the issue of recognizing the Armenian Genocide to normalize relations with Turkey. Even if the Armenian authorities take this step, O’Brien does not believe the Armenian people will do so
– Henry Theriault emphasizes that the Republic of Turkey was created as a result of the Genocide, and the country’s economy was built on the basis of property and wealth taken from Armenians, Assyrians, and Greeks. The Turkish army was established around this process of robbery and looting, and the founders of the Republic of Turkey were the people who planned and committed the Genocide, Theriault noted.
