Genocide Issue Not Discussed: Arman Kirakossian

Genocide Issue Not Discussed: Arman Kirakossian

13:31 – 26.03.10

RA Deputy Defense Minister Arman Kirakossian denied a statement
allegedly made by Turkey’s former Foreign Minister Ali Babacan and
disseminated by some media that during one of the Armenian-Turkish
normalization meetings attended by Babacan an agreement was reached to
discuss the fact of the Armenian Genocide.

`I wouldn’t like to believe that Turkey’s former foreign minister
could say such a thing. But if it’s true, it raises suspicions, as I
was present in those meetings during which the Armenian-Turkish
normalization process began and continued and there was no agreement
to discuss the fact of the Genocide,’ said Kirakossian to local
Armenian media when asked whether those reports were true.

`Both the president and the foreign minister have frequently stated
publicly that Armenia has never questioned the fact of the Genocide
and the importance of its international recognition and will never do
so. RA Foreign Minister said it even in November 2008 in Istanbul just
minutes before the meeting with then Foreign Minister Ali Babacan.
Today any speculation over the issue is irrelevant and inappropriate,’
said Kirakossian.

Emil Lazarian: “I should like to see any power of the world destroy this race, this small tribe of unimportant people, whose wars have all been fought and lost, whose structures have crumbled, literature is unread, music is unheard, and prayers are no more answered. Go ahead, destroy Armenia . See if you can do it. Send them into the desert without bread or water. Burn their homes and churches. Then see if they will not laugh, sing and pray again. For when two of them meet anywhere in the world, see if they will not create a New Armenia.” - WS
