/PanARMENIAN.Net/ It’s wrong to lay the responsibility for
international recognition of the Armenian Genocide on Diaspora,
ARF Bureau’s Hay Dat and Political Affairs Office director Kiro
Manoyan said.

"Armenia should urge Ankara to annul all laws envisaging punishment for
the Armenian Genocide discussion in Turkey. At that, official Yerevan
should announce that international recognition of the Genocide is a
priority of Armenia’s foreign policy," he said.

According to Mr. Manoyan, Armenia should insist that acknowledgment
of the Genocide by Turkey will promote Armenian-Turkish reconciliation.
