Republican Party Spokesperson Edward Sharmazanov, commenting on
President Serzh Sargsyan’s speech in London and his message to Turkish
President Gul, said that Armenia continues to maintain the initiative
in the on again off again process of normalizing Armenian-Turkish
relations.
"Serzh Sargsyan delivered a historic speech and came across as the
true leader in the region and a national statesman," Mr. Sharmazanov
said, adding that this was his personal opinion and not mere praise
as the spokesperson for the president’s party.
Mr. Sharmazanov said that President Sargsyan, in his London speech,
defended the Armenian people and the interests of Armenia, and
showed his willingness to solve the thorniest of problems through
cooperation. Mr. Sharmazanov said that by doing so, the Armenian
president served as an example to be followed by the leaders of the
other countries in the region.
