The readiness to open border with an uncompromising neighbor is a
concession. Stretching a hand of cooperation to a government denying
the crime committed by their predecessors is a compromise fraught
with very serious consequences for our security, ex Foreign Minister
of Armenia Vardan Oskanyan said in Beirut Apr 24.

Armenia wants the world to realize the legal consequences of
unrecognized and uncondemned crimes. The world governments must
understand what a concern it is to be a neighbor to a strong state
refusing to admit its historical guilt. Oskanyan said that the denial
of the genocide was its continuation.

As regards the road map promulgated on Apr 23, he said that if
the adoption of such a document on the eve of Apr 24 was just a
coincidence, it means that the Armenian authorities are indifferent
to the pain of their people. This is incomprehensible. But if they
did it purposefully, on somebody’s proposal or even insistance, in
hope that they might get something in exchange, it means that they
have put up the Armenian Genocide for sale, which is unacceptable.
