YEREVAN. – The Armenian Genocide perpetrated in the Ottoman Empire is not only the matter of the Armenians, but the entire world because genocides show what is happening in the world, and how some people treat others.

Russian historian and political scientist Vladimir Zakharov expressed such a view speaking to Armenian News-NEWS.am.

In his words, the Armenian Genocide was aimed not solely at the Armenians, but all Christians, since “they hated the Christian faith.”

Many countries have already officially recognized the Armenian Genocide and, as per Zakharov, their number will grow in the near future. The historian added, however, that the respective steps should be continued.

He also noted that even though there are numerous documents in Turkey about the Armenian Genocide, they are behind closed doors. 

Vladimir Zakharov is confident that the Armenian Genocide is a topical issue also today, and it should concern the whole world.
