Santa Barbara Independent: Armenian or Turk Claims ‘Genocider’?”
Baku, February 22 (AZERTAC). The U.S. based Santa Barbara Independent newspaper has published an article “Armenian or Turk Claims ‘Genocider’?”. Written in response to “The letter “Millions Were Lost in Armenian Genocide” article, it says the article contains historical inaccuracies.
It says: “Statements that “Armenian genocide is a proven fact” are false. The European Court of Human Rights (ECHR) stated it doubted that there could be a general consensus as to events such as those at issue, given that historical research was by definition open to discussion and a matter of debate, without necessarily giving rise to final conclusions or to the assertion of objective and absolute truths”. “Demonizing the rejection of the notion of “Armenian genocide” while the debates in academia still go on, resembles demonizing the admirers/opponents of Charles Darwin for their disbelief/belief in God.”
The article says: “The ECHR found it inadmissible to draw any comparison between the Holocaust and the Armenian narratives, since the latter lacks “clear legal basis” and does not constitute an act “that had been found by an international court to be clearly established.”
“Attribution of the infamous statement to Adolf Hitler is a proven forgery. The Nuremberg Tribunal refused to accept the suspicious document as evidence.” “Finally, Armenia is not the first Christian nation, as the letter alleges. More than a century before King Tiridat III had adopted Christianity in the Parthian province of Armenia in 301, Edessa (Osroene) was the first state to adopt Christianity in 198 AD.”
