/PanARMENIAN.Net/ Armenian President’s all-Armenian tour to big
Armenian Diaspora communities is an important initiative not only for
discussing Armenian-Turkish Protocols but also imparting a new meaning
to Armenia-Diaspora relations, Director of National Strategic Research
Institute, major-general Hayk Kotanjyan told a news conference in
Yerevan. "Dialogue between Armenia and Diaspora is very important. It
will enable outstanding Diaspora representatives to voice their
approaches and listen to Armenian leader’s responses," expert said,
stressing the importance of conducting an on-going dialogue.

At that he noted that dialogue with Diaspora played strategically
important role for Armenia. "It is necessary to make the traditional
approaches – ‘Hay dat’ and international recognition of Armenian
Genocide – the underlying principles of Armenia-Diaspora cooperation,"
Kotanjyan finds. Besides, he said, Armenian people’s efforts towards
achieving Genocide recognition cannot fully reflect the priority
interests of all Armenians, and it’s very important for Diaspora to
reach consensus on most important national issues.

For the first time in history, Armenian President will conduct an
all-Armenian tour to biggest Armenian communities. Serzh Sargsyan will
meet with Armenian community leaders in New York, Paris, Los Angeles,
Beirut and Rostov-on-Don. Visit aims at revealing Armenian Diaspora’s
views on Armenian-Turkish rapprochement.
