/PanARMENIAN.Net/ Over its whole existence Diaspora have fought for
the Armenian Genocide recognition, and signing of the Armenian-Turkish
Protocols change nothing for us, editor- in- chief of "Gibrahayer"
Simon Aynejian told a PanARMENIAN.Net reporter.
Commenting on the process of signing of the Protocols , lasted 3
hours, Mr. Aynejian said that it has not affected the process of
normalization of the Armenian-Turkish relations.
As he also said, before taking any steps, the Armenian authorities
should have consulted with representatives of Armenian communities,
since the Protocols have a paragraph on the Armenian Genocide, and
Diaspora is a direct consequence of the genocide. "The President of
Armenia began his Pan-Armenian tour when everything had been already
decided. So, these meetings have not been productive, " the
editor-in-chief said.
He stressed that the Armenian people have the impression that the
Diaspora is against the normalization of the Armenia-Turkey
relations. "We are not against normalization of relations between the
countries, the question is, what will be the price of these relations?
I am confident that it will be very high for Armenia, " Simon Aynejian
said.
