CONSIDERABLE PROGRESS IS REACHED IN ISSUE OF INTERNATIONAL RECOGNITION
OF ARMENIAN GENOCIDE: ARFD PARTY

YEREVAN, MARCH 4. ARMINFO. Considerable progress is reached during the
last years in the issues of international recognition of Armenian
Genocide in Ottoman Turkey, said Leader of ARFD party Levon Lazarian
at today’s briefing in Armenia’s National Assembly.

“We should not stop on what we have reached and should stir up our
activity in this direction”, Lazarian noted. In his words, the ARFD
has elaborated a draft on “Proclamation of a day of the Sumgaitian
massacres the Day of Commemoration and Deportation of Armenian Peoples
from the Soviet Azerbaijan”.

He stressed that the Armenian party only should represent actively and
consecutively the true essence and the genesis of the Karabakh
conflict in international structures to reach the support of the their
community in this issue. Whereas, Azerbaijan is forced to falsify and
think out facts favorable for itself. Lazarian also said that the
ARFD welcomes the recent statement of the USA Ambassador to Armenia
John Evans and stressed that it is significant, in particular, on the
threshold of the 90th anniversary of the Armenian Genocide. -r-
