On February 15, the former NA Speaker Tigran Torosyan issued his
opinion in connection with Serge Sargsyan’s speech in London saying
that he had already had a chance to voice his opinion in connection
with Serge Sargsyan’s international speeches and now he has the
same opinion.

Tigran Sargsyan said that neither the content nor the form of that
speech corresponded to the audience because those who write speeches
for the president do not have a clear idea of the audience. According
to him, the title did not correspond to the content. Not accidentally,
the title in future was presented differently.

Tigran Torosyan notes that Serge Sargsyan dwelt on the Karabakh
conflict, then genocide issue, in the third part of the speech, Serge
Sargsyan no one knows why dwelt on the Armenian -British relations.

Tigran Torosyan reminds that the title of the speech was "Values and
security in the Southern Caucasus" and stresses that the Armenian
and British relations do not correspond to the topic of values and
security of the Southern Caucasus.

The situation according to Tigran Torosyan was not saved by the list
of British people who were said to be people presenting the essence
and issues of the genocide. Torosyan mentions Arnold Toynbee saying
that his opinion in his late works in connection with the genocide
issue changed much.

Torosyan says that dwelling on the Karabakh issue, which is natural in
the context of security of the Southern Caucasus, he had to present
Armenia’s approaches to the issue. "For example, Armenia’s ideas on
the territorial integrity and self-determination of nations were to
be presented. Unfortunately, no such a clear formulation was heard
in the speech but only already known opinions", says Tigran Torosyan.
