| description | Armenians who had used terrorism in order to gain their independence since the second half of the 19th
century continued this policy during the World War I and also after the war. When they began terrorism
activities again in 1970s, their aim was to draw the attention of world public to Armenian Issue.
Reaching their aim, Armenians also sought to move the issue into the political arena. To this end, in
1979, 1983 and 1985, the World Armenian Congresses were organized by the Swiss James Viktor
Karnusyan. The overall objective of the Congresses was to combine the Armenians scattered in different
parts of the world in a political platform and by doing so make world states, at first Turkey, accept the
Armenian Genocide. However, two main problems were about the congresses. The first one was that these
congresses were in the shadow of the terrorism, and the other one was that the traditional Armenian
Parties did not support these congresses. Despite all of them, the decisions taken at the congresses, the
National Council of Armenian that was created and Armenian Constitution which was declared had
historical nature. In addition, it is evident that these congresses also had a role in transporting the Armenian
issue into the Political platform. |
