/PanARMENIAN.Net/ If there were no events in 1915, there would have
been no concept of “Armenian Diaspora”, Armenian FM Vartan Oskanian
stated in an interview with Turkish Hyurriet newspaper. In his words,
Armenia and the Diaspora demand that the events in 1915 be recognized
and denounced. On the other hand, V. Oskanian added, the closing
of the borders and absence of relations between Yerevan and Ankara
deepens the gap between the two countries. “Thus Armenian and Turkish
peoples do not have an opportunity to replace old memories by new
ones. The Armenian Diaspora wishes the best to Armenia: establishment
of good relations with neighbors. We hope that the Turkish people
also wish to establish good relations with the neighboring country,”
the Armenian FM said.
