/PanARMENIAN.Net/ “Turkey and Armenia should not put obstacles for
cooperation, but should sit at bargaining table without escaping
from their past and constantly moving forward via dialogue,” stated
Chairman of the National Assembly of Armenia Artur Baghdassaryan
at a meting with experts at US Center for International Strategic
Studies. “There is nothing bad about the neighboring country becoming
a EU member,” the Armenian Speaker answered to a question on Turkey’s
possible accession to the EU. “I see the future of the region in the
enlarged European Union,” Baghdassaryan stated. At that he noted that
“The Armenian Genocide cannot be consigned to oblivion.” The Speaker
again reminded that in its time the Holocaust was not prevented also
due to the international community not recognizing and condemned
the Armenian Genocide. It should be noted that A. Baghdassaryan left
for the US on an official call August 31. The head of the Armenian
Parliament will take part in the world forum of speakers and will
meet with representatives of the US executive, reported IA Regnum.
