YEREVAN. Nov 25 (Interfax) – Armenia will never abandon efforts to
get the 1915 killing of Armenians in the Ottoman Empire recognized
internationally as genocide, Armenian Foreign Minister Edvard
Nalbandian said in Istanbul. "Armenia has never said and it will
never say that it will drop the process of international recognition
of the genocide of Armenians," Armenian Foreign Ministry spokesman
Tigran Balaian told Interfax, quoting Nalbandian.

The Armenian foreign minister also said, Balaian continued, that,
"Yerevan will never demand that the Armenian diaspora halt efforts
to achieve the international recognition of the genocide."

The Armenia leadership wants to continue the talks on settling
relations with Ankara, he said.

Turkish mass media, meanwhile, alleged on Tuesday, citing the Armenian
foreign minister, that "Armenia’s position has changed and Yerevan has
a normal attitude to Turkey’s proposal to form a friendly bilateral
commission to investigate the genocide on the basis of historical
evidence."

Nalbandian was in Istanbul on a one-day visit within the framework
of Armenia’s current presidency of the Black Sea Economic Cooperation
Organization.

“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
