The conference recently held in Yerevan entitled “International legal problems for preventing the crime of genocide and responsibility” was attended by the Director of the High School of “Chinese International School” in Singapore, Vahagn Vardanyan (in the photo). He, in fact, is working on his doctoral thesis at the National University of Singapore, which refers to the national identity sector. To the question of Aravot.am of whether he attended the said conference, and what was the question raised by him, V. Vardanyan said today, – Over the last century, in different regions of the world, different nations have been subjected to genocide.

The examples are the Armenian Genocide, the Holocaust, the Rwandan genocide Tutsis, Darfur’s and similar other tragedies.

However, in recent times, the “genocide” has begun to be speculated, and it has reach the point that even Azerbaijan has begun introducing itself as a victim of the Genocide. My question was as follows: in this regard, don’t you share the concern that the word “genocide” can be depreciated over the time?
