/PanARMENIAN.Net/ Over 150 Armenian Argentineans gathered in Buenos
Ayres under the chairmanship of professor Juan Gabriel Tokatlian
to discuss the April 22 Armenian-Turkish ‘road map’ agreement. "The
road map agreement is one of the most important events in Armenia’s
modern history and makes Armenia more vulnerable, as it can affect
Armenia-Diaspora relations and concurrence of forces in Eurasia,"
prof. Tokatlian said. Hai Dat South American Office member Khachik
Ter-Ghukasyan commented on two negative points of the agreement: the
date of its signature and secrecy of the process, what means that
the Armenian government made certain concessions. "Turkey uses the
‘road map’ in its strategic interests while the Armenian government
doesn’t have a common strategy," he said. For his part, Head of the
Argentinean diocese of the Armenian Apostolic Church Gisak Muratian
said the agreement was an unpleasant surprise for the Diaspora.
