-“Aram the first even raised the demand in English language so that it is understandable during the liturgy. This process may affect the fulfillment of the requirements, but we must not forget that this requirement is related to requirements concerning the crime of Genocide, apart from this we have other requirements that may be filed.

Taking into account Turkey’s brutal response, I cannot say exactly say what will be Turkey`s objective judgment and what success can be achieved, this is a long process, “-said Vladimir Vardanyan.
We asked the expert what developments are possible when the lawsuit goes to the European Court of Human Rights (ECHR), the expert said that the court has jurisdiction in its range and is not able to describe the act of Genocide, ECHR will just try to ascertain whether the subject’s rights have been violated or not.
