YEREVAN. – “Thanks to our consistent work, the new generation of Turks will be more matured in the recognition of the Armenian issue, and the split between the Turkish authorities and the public will grow deeper.”

Armenian Genocide Museum-Institute Director, historian Hayk Demoyan noted the aforesaid at Saturday’s discussions devoted to the recognition of and reparations for the Armenian Genocide.

In his view, Turkey, as an integral part of its security, has presented the Armenian Genocide issue to its people in the same form for numerous years.

Demoyan added that, today, Turkey is in isolation to some extent, and its respective problem is primarily psychological.

“When the country has insisted on one thing for years, imagine what would happen if the Turkish political leadership suddenly changes its approach. If it admits its mistake, this will be a huge blow to the Turkish state,” Demoyan noted.

He also stressed that Turkey is very well aware of the catastrophic consequences of such a psychological collapse.
