The second stop of the pan-Armenian trip was New York. Here, on
October 3, Serge Sargsyan had a meeting with the representatives of
the U.S. Eastern coast and representatives of the Armenian communities
in Canada. The deputy head of the Hayastan pan-Armenian Fund trustee
board Gagik Harutunyan, Ambassador with Special Assignments, the
former NKR president Arkadi Ghukasyan as well as the Minister of
Diaspora Hranush Hakobyan also took part in the meeting.

In his opening speech, Serge Sargsyan dwelt on the main concern
heard on the Armenian-Turkish protocols and reiterated that Armenia
is establishing relations with Turkey without preconditions.

Dwelling on the concern that we did not calculate all the possible
consequences and influence of border opening, Serge Sargsyan said
that in reality it is impossible to calculate all the scenarios.

As to economic expansions, Serge Sargsyan considered groundless this
concern saying that the country has enough mechanisms and means to
solve possible problems and challenges.

Serge Sargsyan also reiterated that the fact of genocide cannot be
discussed in the framework of the normalization of the Armenian and
Turkish relations.

In the end, Serge Sargsyan said he believes in Armenia’s good future
because we have chosen the right way. The press service of the
president informs.
