/PanARMENIAN.Net/ The international recognition of the Armenian Genocide and
normalization of relations with Azerbaijan are the priority issues for the
Armenian government and people, Armenian Ambassador to Russia Armen Smbatian
stated in his online interview on OpenArmenia.com when commenting on
frequent reproaches addressed to the Armenian government on the absence of
precise program of RA development within the sphere of international
relations. Armen Smbatian noted that the Hay Dat (the Genocide recognition)
is the most alarming issue for the Armenian people. “You could witness the
great attention the world paid to the Genocide 90-th anniversary. And I
would like to point out to Russia’s attitude towards the issue”, the
Ambassador noted. As for the Nagorno Karabakh problem, Armenia’s position
underwent no changes. “Armenia will never tolerate infringement of its
national interests. It is necessary to search for a compromise admissible
both for Armenia and Azerbaijan”, he said.
