Levon Hovsepyan believes that Turkey in every way refrains from the legal component. Turkologist Levon Hovsepyan, during the press conference at the “Debate” press club on February 26, said the concept of joint pain put into circulation by Davutoglu is well understood by the international community, and the Turkish society treats this concept very well. “All of this goes to Genocide denial, in other words, not to lead it to the category of the original genocide. Turkey in every ways refrains from the legal component of the genocide, and if we look at the 1919 Ottoman tribunals trials, why the hearings of the latter about the Young Turks were rather active, it is very simple, because at that time, there was a problem of international tribunal, and avoiding it, the Ottoman Empire decided to close this issue through local tribunals so that the case does not reach the international tribunal.
If we view it under this logic, Turkey refrains from it until now,” he said. In Levon Hovsepyan’s words, Turkey is ready to go to political solutions in the political dimension, and these solutions could not be legal. “It is obvious that genocide does not have a political solution, and there was no precondition that the issue of the genocide is resolved in the political format and at the political level. This is the logic that more elaborated and developed legal process within the maximum possibilities should be started.”
