During the 70 years of Soviet Armenia, the population of Armenia increased fivefold. The population of Western Armenia before the genocide was 2.5 million, and if the genocide had not happened, then the population of Armenia could be about 13-15 million now.
Mikael Malkhasyan, candidate of historical sciences, specialist in historical demography, believes that the influence of the genocide still exists today, it is not just an event that happened 100 years ago, which affects 1.5 million people. The result of the genocide is that we have little opportunities today.
He claims that the bait of a recent public discussion about the number of Armenians subjected to genocide is a dangerous political narrative that can turn into a simplification and dissolution of the subject of international recognition of the Armenian Genocide, fair and legitimate claims.
