Indian Vice-President about events of early 20th century in Turkey: there could not be any optional view in respect to innocent people murder
ArmInfo."There could not be any optional view in respect to innocent people murder both in our region, and in neighbor, in South America, Africa or elsewhere. We all should sign under general universal values noted in UN charter of 1945", Indian Vice-President Mohammad Hamid Ansari stated during the meeting with YSU students, answering the question if India could recognize Armenian Genocide after the visit to Armenia.
"That is a part of the history no one can be proud of. Today in the morning I read an article of British journalist Robert Fix on this topic, and he raises the issues some countries cannot find the answer to. I will not mention that countries so that the conversation will not go in other direction", the Vice-President stated.
What is to Armenian-Indian relations in general, he noted the historical contribution of Armenian Diaspora in India's political and cultural life. Speaking about the prospective of bilateral cooperation, he accentuated in the spheres of industry, power economy, extending military-technological partnership.
Within the framework of the meeting, Mohammad Ansari was given a title of YSU emeritus professor.
