YEREVAN, MARCH 19, ARMENPRESS. Turkey can change its position on Armenian Genocide issue only under the pressure of Europe. The Editor-in-Chief of Foreign Journalism Department of L'Espresso periodical Gianni Perrelli stated this in a conversation with “Armenpress”. This is his first visit to Armenia.
Among other things, Perrelli noted that the time of his visit to our country ahead of the 100th anniversary of the Armenian Genocide has not been chosen accidentally. “Majority of the Western countries has forgotten the tragedy of the Armenians. By all means, there are intellectuals and activists, who remember what happened, but there is a huge difference in the level of awareness in comparison with Holocaust,” he underscored.
In addition, Gianni Perrelli noted: “We know that the Armenian Genocide served as a model for Hitler for the realization of the Armenian Genocide, but many people have forgotten about that. Armenia is small country and the Armenians need strong lobbying around the world.”
Perrelli’s visit to our country mainly aims writing an article based on the meetings with the eyewitness-survivors of the Armenian Genocide.
