SLOVAK PARLIAMENT'S ACKNOWLEDGING ARMENIAN GENOCIDE STRENGTHENS
ARMENIA'S POSITIONS ON INTERNATIONAL ARENA
YEREVAN, DECEMBER 2. ARMINFO. The Slovak parliament's acknowledging
the Armenian Genocide is significantly strengthening Armenia's
positions on the international arena, says Armenia's FM Vardan
Osknanyan.
The Armenian Genocide has ceased being an Armenian problem
only. Unless the past is condemned and preventive measures are taken
humanity may face new genocides in the future. Slovakia's step was one
more drop into the international pressure on Turkey - this is getting
especially important now that Turkey is preparing for the talks for EU
membership. Europe does not accept closed borders. So Armenia is
working in this directions. Pres.Kocharyan has appealed to all the EU
presidents. All the foreign ambassadors to Armenia have been invited
to Armenia's FM to discuss the problem. Turkey should realize that
Europe does not accept the fact that a country seeking to join it is
keeping close its border closed with a neighboring country involved in
the Wider Europe program and wishing to join Europe itself, says
Oskanyan.
