THE WORLD HAS NO DOUBT

Yesterday President ROBERT KOCHARYAN re-confirmed official
Yerevan’s attitude towards achieving the international recognition of
the Armenian Genocide and welcomed the decision of the Foreign
Affairs Committee of the House of Representatives.
`We believe that the recognition of Genocide will receive a final
formulation in the United States. The great number of communications
we have with different countries’ officials prove one thing: there is
no doubt about what happened in 1915,’ R. Kocharyan said.
As to the situation that some countries do not recognize the fact
of the Armenian Genocide, R. Kocharyan accounted for it by the
intention of not deteriorating their relations with Turkey. `Turkey
has adopted a denial attitude with regard to this issue, but it
doesn’t mean that the country can impose such denial policy on other
countries as well,’ R. Kocharyan said.
As regards the deterioration of the Armenian-Turkish relations as
a result of the adoption of Resolution # 106, R. Kocharyan reminded
that it is impossible to deteriorate something that doesn’t exist.
`There must be a certain level of relations to allow for the
deterioration of something; today there are simply no relations
between Armenia and Turkey,’ he underscored.
