/PanARMENIAN.Net/ If President had problems with Armenian community
representatives, he wouldn’t have met with them, RPA Press Secretary
Edward Sharmazanov told a news conference in Yerevan. Even though
Armenia considers and shares Diaspora’s concerns, final decision
on Armenian-Turkish normalization lies upon the country, i.e. RA
President, National Assembly and relevant state bodies.
"We respect different parties’ views but cannot cross permissible
limits. No one in Armenia or Diaspora has the right to condemn Serzh
Sargsyan’s policy," he noted.
Speaker also criticized Diaspora for holding protest near Komitas
monument in Paris, and shared President’s view that demonstrator’s
had better kept silent, respecting Genocide victims. Yells are not
sign of patriotism, Sharmazanov stressed.
"President started his all-Armenian tour from near Komitas monument
with an aim to show that Armenia attaches great significance to
Genocide recognition and in the person of President, does its best
to re-establish justice," Sharmazanov said.
"All problems faced by country should be resolved, with Genocide
recognition being a primary task. How many times a day should RA
President or Foreign Minister speak about Genocide?" RPA Press
Secretary asked.
