Battle for the future

There will be lots of references to the CBS’s «Battle Over History - 60 Minutes» video, which speaks about the Armenian genocide. I don't share the excitement of fellow Armenians, because the documentary has a serious flow: our battle isn't «over the history», but over the future. Genocide is not a historical category, it is a legal category by definition.

Actually it's the Turks who do their best to make everyone believe that «leaving the genocide to historians» is the only rational thing to do.

Turks would never invest so much effort and resources into the whole process of genocide denial if it was «just part of the history».

Да к сожалению, если кто-то тратит деньги, значит у него есть выгода. А если он тратит "большие деньги" - значит ему это выгодно вдвойне.

Истину глаголишь. :)

Вся загвоздка именно в этом - в формулировании проблемы, это и задаёт правила игры, а остальное получается производой разных степеней.
