‘SCUM OF THE NATION’: ACCUSATIONS BUT NO NAMES

Republican Party of Armenia MP Karen Avagyan stated today that there
have always been scum among the people, who, during Armenia’s history,
have always impeded the establishment of Armenian-Turkish relations
or its solution.

Avagyan, who had come to debate with Heritage Party Parliamentary
Faction Leader Stepan Safaryan, said people who speculate about
the Armenian Genocide in the presigned Armenian-Turkish Protocols
are the nation’s scum, since the Protocols don’t mean that Armenia
stops its pursuit for Genocide recognition or is going to discuss
the issue. According to Avagyan, with the Protocols, Armenia will
only discuss the issue of the Genocide consequences.

In answer to the question which of the three political parties
speculating the Genocide issue (Armenian National Congress, Armenian
Revoluiontary Federation – Dashnaktsutyun, or the Heritage Party)
are the nation’s scum, Avagyan didn’t specify but simply stated,
whoever speculates is the scum of the nation.
