/PanARMENIAN.Net/ The Genocide issue was not discussed during the
meetings between Armenian and Turkish diplomats, an Armenian senior
diplomat stated.

`I personally took part in the meetings which preceded the dialogue
between the two countries,’ Deputy Foreign Minister Arman Kirakossian
said.

He also emphasized that both the Armenian President and Foreign
Minister numerously stated that Armenia never questioned the fact of
Genocide and its international recognition. `Speculations on the issue
are inadmissible,’ Mr. Kirakossian said.

Earlier, ex-Minister of Foreign Affairs of Turkey Ali Babacan said
that the Armenian Genocide issue was discussed during diplomatic
meetings under Swiss mediation.
