Revolutionary Federation (ARF) Bureau’s Hay Dat and Political Affairs
Office met with Turhan Comez, a member of the Turkish Parliament,
representing the ruling party, Yerkir Online reports. The one-hour
meeting that took place in the lobby of the Marriott Armenia hotel was
also attended by Samson Ozararat, Armenia’s representative in the Black
Sea Economic Cooperation Council, and Comez’s partners. The parties
discussed issues related to the Armenian-Turkish relations. Manoian
pointed out that a dialogue is possible only when it is genuine, and
the sides should be honest with themselves. But the facts indicate
that in Turkey, no sincere environment for such internal discussions
is yet in place. At the end of the meeting, Manoian, speaking to
journalists accompanying the Turkish politician, pointed to the role
of press in the normalization of the Armenian-Turkish relations,
emphasizing the need for responsible reporting.
