    Armenian aide blames Turkish media for misleading reports on genocide

    YEREVAN

    The press secretary of the Armenian Foreign Ministry, Gamlet
    Gasparyan, said today that the Turkish media "is trying to mislead the
    international community again, claiming that Armenia and the Armenian
    diaspora have different approaches to the problem of the genocide".

    The Armenian Foreign Ministry spokesman said this while commenting on
    reports in the Turkish newspapers Radikal and Milliyet, which
    maintained that the Armenian ambassador to the European Union, Vigen
    Chitechyan, had allegedly said that "the genocide problem has been
    created by the diaspora".

    "The Armenian ambassador's statement has been turned upside
    down. Touching on the issue of the genocide, Chitechyan usually uses
    the phrase 'the diaspora appeared as a result of the genocide',"
    Gasparyan said and stressed that the Turkish media is using "old
    tricks meant for uninformed people".
