YEREVAN, October 15. / ARKA /. About 100 experts from Armenia, Germany, USA, Austria, Russia, Australia, Ukraine, Canada, Poland and Hungary have gathered in Yerevan for a two-day international conference "Armenian Genocide – 100: From Recognition to Reparation."
The conference is a joint effort of the National Academy of Sciences of Armenia and the Yerevan State University.
"This conference is to summarize all our activities and our achievements in this area of recent years. But, of course, this conference does not end studies of genocide. This problem should be a key in the coming years, especially as we move from the issue of recognition to the issue of reparation," president of the National Academy of Sciences Radik Martirosyan said.
He also read out an address to the participants of the conference by president Serzh Sargsyan, in which he says that ‘the Armenian nation survived, revived, rebuilt its statehood and today presents itself as a claimant that claims for justice, and this supposes a serious preparatory, including an exploratory work.’
‘It is no accident that scientific research conferences occupy a unique place in the list of numerous events to mark the Armenian Genocide Centennial. I think today’s symposium differs in a sense that along with bearing the subheading “From Recognition to Reparation” and being devoted to conducting further in-depth research on a wide range of Armenian Genocide issues, it also lays special emphasis on the issues of eliminating the effects of that gravest crime and on the reparation thereof,’ said Sargsyan.-0-
