    TURKEY: THERE IS NO INFORMATION ON CHANGES IN ARMENIA'S POLICY

    Azg/arm
    12 Nov 04

    It has been several days now that Turkish press misleads readers by
    informing that the Armenian government left the state budget of 2005
    without money for promoting Armenian Genocide acknowledgement and
    concludes that the issue ceased to be a priority for the country.

    Yesterdayâ~@~Ys issue of Azg Daily explained Turkeyâ~@~Ys groundless
    conclusions by the latterâ~@~Ys desire to confuse the international
    community and to give signals to Armenia.

    Press secretary of the Foreign Ministry of Armenia, Hamlet
    Gasparian, said in an interview to Armenpress: "There is no change
    in Armeniaâ~@~Ys policy as to international acknowledgment of the
    Armenian Genocide. The issue of Genocide acknowledgement is still on
    the foreign agenda of Armenia, and separate sentences in the budget
    bill mean nothing".

    Press secretaryâ~@~Ys words proved our evaluation of Turkish printed
    mediaâ~@~Ys conclusions to be true. Itâ~@~Ys interesting that
    the spokesman of Turkeyâ~@~Ys Foreign Ministry Namk Tan confirmed
    Gasparianâ~@~Ys words on November 10.

    Turkish Milliet writes that Turkey declared that there is no
    information about Armeniaâ~@~Ys decision to remove the issue of
    Armenian Genocide from its foreign agenda, therefore Yerevan will
    not change its policy.

    Tan made the issue clear at his meeting with journalists. According
    to Milliet, Tan noted that the information on "the absence of
    Genocide-related articles from 2005 budget bill" came from the
    printed media only and that they have no facts stating the shift in
    Armeniaâ~@~Ys stance except for the newspapers. Then he added that the
    Armenian government displayed no wish to bring changes in the budged,
    thus it is a waste of time to talk of Armeniaâ~@~Ys changed policy.
