Айк Демоян:

Не стоит питать каких-либо иллюзий по поводу того, что власти США в преддверие 97-летней годовщины Геноцида армян изменят свою позицию, даже, несмотря на то, что в ноябре в этой стране ожидаются президентские выборы. Подобное мнение 10 апреля на пресс-конференции, отвечая на вопрос АрмИнфо, выразил директор Музея-института Геноцида армян Айк Демоян.

По словам Демояна, направленные на международное признание Геноцида усилия армянского лобби, армянской дипломатии и армянского народа в целом не должны сконцентрироваться на том, чтобы добиться использования американским президентом термина "геноцид" в своем выступлении 23 апреля. По его мнению, в процессе признания Геноцида есть более важные и эффективные направления, в частности, эффективное использование имеющегося огромного библиографического арсенала, документальных материалов, исследований ученых и экспертов в области истории Геноцида армян.

В этой связи Демоян подчеркнул, что в конце апреля в Музее-институте пройдет беспрецедентная выставка работ, посвященных теме Геноцида. На выставке будут показаны около 300 единиц изданий на разных языках. Для прессы выставка будет открыта 23 апреля.

Напомним, что ранее президент США Барак Обама в период предвыборной кампании обещал в случае избрания признать Геноцид армян. Став президентом, однако, Обама 24 апреля 2009 г. и в течение всех последующих годовщин Геноцида лишь произнес словосочетание "Мец Ехерн", что в переводе на армянский означает "Великая Резня".

Germany accuses Russia of cyberattacks and disinformation campaign

The German government holds Russia responsible for a cyberattack on German air traffic control, and for targeted disinformation campaigns before the last federal election. According to the German Foreign Office in Berlin, the incidents could be clearly attributed to the Russian military intelligence service, the GRU. In response, the Russian ambassador to Berlin was summoned to the Foreign Ministry. "We have been observing a massive increase in threatening hybrid activities by Russia for some time now," a spokesperson for the Foreign Ministry stated. These range from disinformation campaigns and espionage to cyberattacks and sabotage attempts. The aim is to divide society, sow distrust, and undermine confidence in democratic institutions. The spokesperson added that with these actions, Russia is "very concretely threatening our security, not only through its war of aggression against Ukraine, but also here in Germany."  The Foreign Ministry spokesperson explained that the cyberattack on air traffic control in August 2024 was clearly attributed to the hacker collective "APT28," known as "Fancy Bear," and to the responsibility of the Russian military intelligence service, the GRU. Furthermore, it could now be "conclusively stated" that Russia had attempted "to influence and destabilize both the last Federal election and the ongoing internal affairs of the Federal Republic of Germany." There was "absolutely irrefutable evidence" for this". The so-called "Storm 1516" campaign, which has been running since 2024, is allegedly backed by "reliable information" that the Moscow-based think tank "Center for Geopolitical Expertise" is behind it. The Center is also said to be supported by Russian military intelligence. Its primary aim is to influence democratic elections in the West. (Click the image to read more).
