Armenian Prime Minister Nikol Pashinyan has made it clear that he will not use the term “genocide” to refer to the events that occurred in the Ottoman Empire in 1915. During a recent National Assembly session, Pashinyan, who is the leader of the coordinating group of the political party “My Step Alliance”, discussed the political agreement “Civil Contract”. However, it was noted by reporters that Pashinyan deliberately avoided using the term “genocide” in his speech, opting instead to refer to the events as the “Great Crime” or the “Massacre”. This choice has left the media wondering about the reasons behind Pashinyan’s decision.

Unfortunately, reporters were unable to get a direct response from the Prime Minister on this matter. When asked about his avoidance of the term “genocide”, Pashinyan seemed unaware of what the question was about and expressed confusion on the topic. However, Andranik Kocharyan, the President of the Committee on Defense, Security, and Internal Affairs, stated that there is no difference between the terms “genocide” and “Great Crime”.

These recent developments regarding Pashinyan’s stance on the term “genocide” have sparked discussions and debates among the media and the public. It remains to be seen whether this deliberate omission is significant in the context of Armenia’s historical recognition of the events that occurred in 1915. As the story continues to unfold, it is clear that the use of such language holds immense importance and carries deep implications for Armenia’s relationship with its history and the international community.
