Never relent, Keep the pressure on Turkey until they genuinely show their remorse. Then we can say Turkey has taken a step towards change towards becoming truly human.
i list my great uncle to genicide
For the past 48 hours I have been contemplating over the following question.
WHAT WOULD BE THE DIFFERENCE IN THE punishment IF TURKEY WERE TO ACCEPT THE GENOCIDE today OR IF TURKEY WERE TO ACCEPT IT twenty-five YEARS FROM NOW? Would the pinishment be greater later?
I think this is an interesting question, very much worth asking.
This was an excellent hearing, and I believe the chairman intends to schedule a follow-up session to examine the Turkish educational system’s role in denying history, including reviewing textbooks. Krikor raised an interesting question that I have also been pondering: what will be the impact of further delay on potential reparations? A couple of detailed studies have been conducted and publicized on the potential value of irreparable harm and reparable harm resulting from the genocide. The cost of delay is a major component. Presumably any Armenian demands will increase with time, in line with the time value of money.
