YEREVAN, APRIL 20, NOYAN TAPAN. The current Turkish government
using all agitation means continues policy of large-scale crimes,
distortion of historic facts and religious intolerance adopted from
its ancestors. The statement of Ramkavar-Azatakan Party of Armenia
published at the April 20 press conference read this.

Haroutiun Arakelian, Chairman Ramkavar-Azatakan Party of Armenia,
said that on their initiative a working group of traditional Armenian
parties, Ramkavar-Azatakan Party of Armenia, ARF Dashnaktsutiun and
Social-Democrat Hnchakian Party, was created in February in Paris. The
working group should "voice louder" the issue of condemnation and
recognition of Armenian Genocide by international community.

Touching upon the parliamentary elections to be held in May,
H. Arakelian considered inadmissible the conduct of the candidates for
deputacy who "exploit the issue of the Genocide in their preelectoral
programs."
