ArmInfo. Award of an honourable degree of YSU doctor to President of
Iran Mahmoud Ahmadinejad is a special approach to a delicate problem,
President of Armenia Serzh Sargsyan said in response to ArmInfo’s
question.

"I would call this decision of Yerevan State University a special
approach to a delicate problem, and this approach is widespread today
in democratic countries. You know, we cannot make our neighbours and
heads of other states to think what we think about the Armenian
Genocide. One should not personify the fact of degree award: it is
just a desire to express gratitude to the people of a country
represented by one or another politician and, you know, the Iranians
are our close neighbours and very important for us", S. Sargsyan said.
