Chairman of Hay Dat Central Council Hakob Ter-Khachatryan said that a
range of priorities aimed at strengthening of the Armenian statehood
are on the agenda of Hay Dat Committees worldwide.
"Hay Dat Committees operate worldwide in four directions: development
of Armenia and NKR, solution of the issue on Armenian lands,
international recognition of the Armenian Genocide, as well as
unification of the Armenian people to make a single political factor
in the world," Ter-Khachatryan told a conference of Hay Dat Committees.
According to him, steps need to be taken to oppose the anti-Armenian
policy of the Turkish and Azerbaijani lobby worldwide.
He believes that, despite statements by Armenian officials, the
Protocols on the Armenian-Turkish normalization have affected the
process of the Armenian Genocide international recognition and
complicated work of Hay Dat Committees. Specifically, he pointed
to Turkey’s rapprochement with countries of the Arab world, noting
that the Genocide recognition has become complicated also in the
Arab countries.
Thus, Ter-Khachatryan stressed that we need to start working with
international analytical centers and structure, as well as dissident
representatives of the Turkish intelligentsia whose opinion on the
Armenian Genocide differs from the official Turkish stance.
