"One thing can be said surely, this court decision is delaying
the Genocide recognition process, as well as is not promoting the
prevention of the future genocides", – said Arpi Vardanyan the director
of Armenia and Nagorno Karabakh offices of the Armenian Assembly of
America about the decision of the USA Californian appeal court.

According to A. Vardanyan it is too early to say, what kind of
consequences such kind of decision can bring.

At the same time A. Vardanyan mentioned that it can have a harmful
influence both on the acceptation of the Article concerning the
Armenian Genocide in USA Congress, and on the recognition of the fact
of US states Genocide.

Speaking about the issue of opening the boarder with Turkey partially
the director of Armenia and Nagorno Karabakh offices of the Armenian
Assembly of America said that "their position is not changed about
the issue and they think that the boarder should be opened."

"In the 21th century there should not be closed boarders, but Turkey
should take up serious steps. The opening of the boarder shouldn’t
be connected with any other problem such as the Armenian Genocide or
Artsakh conflict", – noticed A. Vardanyan summing up his speech.
