TIGRAN TOROSIAN CALLS FOR TURKISH REPRESENTATIVE TO NATO NOT TO OVERESTIMATE HIS PLENIPOTENTIARIES
Yerevan, June 13. ArmInfo. Tirgran Torosian, Speaker of RA National
Assembly, called for Frank Cook, British representative to PA NATO,
to make corrections in the regional report he made.
The press service of RA Parliament informed that in the course of
the meeting with PA NATO delegation, Mr. Torosian emphasized the
importance of making corrections in the report. In particular,
it is stated in the report that “the international entities that
sympathize Armenia” recognized the fact of the Armenian Genocide in
the Ottoman Turkey in early XX century. He stated that it’s necessary
to name these countries and admit the fact that the Armenian Genocide
was recognized by the European Parliament, as well. In response,
Vahid Erdem, representative of Turkey, began denying the genocide,
and stated that merely 400-500 thousand people attacked Turkey by the
instructions of Russia. Mr. Torosian interrupted the lecture of Erdem,
called for him to behave himself and told him not to overestimate his
plenipotentiaries. He reminded Erdem that he has no right to give
evaluations to the Genocide, to the European Parliament and to the
countries that recognized the Armenian Genocide.
