"To set ties with Turkish people, des not necessarily mean to put
Genocide under suspect, even more, to forget about it. It’s simply
impossible," Armenian President Serzh Sargsyan declared at the meeting
of Public Council today stressing that he has been repeating the same
thing various times during this year.
Regarding the formation of historic committee and the concerns
related to it, President made it clear that the committee can not
define anti-Armenian decisions.
"It is said that Turkey will give priority to Genocide issue just at
the very first day of the committee meeting. What does this mean?" the
president commented: "The committee is founded on parity principles
where each side is authorized to say what they want to."
To conclude the President pointed that Armenia will initiate activities
to reach the recognition of Armenian Genocide. President declared
that it might prolong the current negotiations but the most important
thing is that they would start thinking over this issue in Turkey.
