/PanARMENIAN.Net/ Turkey’s position is not new for Armenia, Sedrak
Achemyan , chairman of the Central Board of the Social Democratic
Hnchak Party (SDHP), told a seminar "Armenian-Turkish Relations:
Past and future" held in Yerevan.

Turkey has already strengthened its position in Europe and the United
States concerning the Armenian Genocide. Now Ankara is trying to
promote the same position in the Caucasus ", Sedrak Achemyan said.

"Turkey has spent a lot of funds and resources to close the question
of the Armenian Genocide ", Sedrak Achemyan stressed. The Ankara did
the same, making a statement about the "road map" on April 23 on the
eve of the U.S. President Barack Obama’s speech, when he had to utter
the word "genocide".

"The question of the Armenian Genocide – is all Armenian issue, which
should receive an immediate solution," Mr. Ajemyan said, while noting
that neither Armenia, nor Diaspora accept another solution, except
recognition of the Armenian Genocide by Turkey. Thanks to efforts
of Armenia and Diaspora, twenty states have already recognized the
Armenian Genocide.
