Epress.am News from Armenia
The opening of the Vatican archives, where there is new information on the Armenian Genocide, will enrich Armenians’ knowledge of the Turks’ brutality and inhumane treatment said Armenian Genocide Museum-Institute Director Hayk Demoyan, speaking to Epress.am today about the Vatican’s decision to open its archives.
Demoyan also said the archive will become another crank/clutch and anchor so that once again confirmed in the international arena is the fact that the denial of the Armenian Genocide is simply absurd.
“The Vatican has recognized the Armenian Genocide, having as its basis the letters of [Pope] Benedict XV where he clearly asked that the atrocities against the Armenians stop. With the opening of the archives, there will be a change in the sense that the information that’s come out periodically today will become enriched. And I am sure that there are individuals who bear this information who at a certain frequency place new facts into circulation,” he said.
The opening of the Vatican archives will also benefit the process of international recognition of the Armenian Genocide, Demoyan added.
