By Questioning the Genocide, Pashinyan Encourages Turkish and Azeri Denialists
Prime Minister Nikol Pashinyan’s controversial statements regarding the Armenian Genocide
Pashinyan’s supporters argue that he has not denied the Armenian Genocide, but has merely asked questions. Meanwhile, his opponents condemn him for denying the Genocide or raising unnecessary questions about a well-established historical fact.
More importantly than internal Armenian debates is the damage that Pashinyan may have done to the Armenian Cause by repeating similar questions raised by Turkey and Azerbaijan, intended to cast doubt on the veracity of the Genocide.
