`The stance of Diaspora is crucial for us,’ Head of the Republican
Party of Armenia Galust Sahakyan told NEWS.am commenting on Serzh
Sargsyan’s initiative to make a Pan-Armenian tour and hear out the
opinion of Diaspora representatives on Armenia-Turkey Protocols.

Asked whether Serzh Sargsyan will succeed in `finding a common ground’
with Diaspora considering that opinions on Protocols vary, the
Parliamentarian replied that he did not think there is outbreak in
Diaspora.

In addition, Sargsyan’s path had never been a `quest for common
ground’ and he reckons the President will be able to explain
everything to Diaspora.

Serzh Sargsyan will make a 7-day Pan-Armenian tour starting October 1,
2009. He will have meetings with the largest Armenian communities in
Paris, Los Angeles, Beirut and Rostov-on-Don to hear out their
positions on the current stage of Armenia-Turkey reconciliation.
