/PanARMENIAN.Net/ There are three approaches to the Armenian Genocide
issue, AFR Dashnaktsutyun parliamentary group Vahan Hovhannisyan said.
"First, Turkey denies the fact of this crime against humanity. Second,
Europe insists that Genocide if a fact which should not be used
as a tool of pressure on Turkey. Third, Armenia understands that
recognition of the Genocide is a security issue for the republic,"
he told reporters in Yerevan.
"Turkey’s is certainly under pressure. It refers to Kurdish issue and
open borders with neighbors. We are under pressure as well. However,
Armenian Genocide is not an issue for concessions," Mr. Hovhannisian
said.
