YEREVAN. – Recognition of the Armenian Genocide is a political issue, head of National Archive of Armenia Amatuni Virabyan said.

“We often see how the heads of the foreign states sometimes interrupt their official and working visits to Armenia in order to avoid visiting Memorial to the Armenian Genocide victims,” Virabyan told reporters on Thursday.

He is confident that historical facts cannot register progress in Genocide recognition process.

“Although, different countries can acknowledge the fact of the Genocide, it is all about politics. Policy remains the same. Despite this, we must continue our work,” he concluded.
