"For a long time the question of international recognition of the
Armenian Genocide was the captive of the ideological division in the
world, and Armenia did not have statehood and corresponding tools,
which would allow to attain international recognition," declared RA
President Robert Kocharyan during the joint press conference with
the President of Lithuania Valdas Adamkus.
Robert Kocharyan expressed his gratitude to the Parliament of Lithuania
for recognizing the Armenian Genocide in 2005 and underlined that
the international recognition of the tragic events of 1915 is a
"question of principle."
In Robert Kocharyan's words, there are no more such obstacles today,
and together with the Diaspora independent Armenia is struggling for
the international recognition of the 1915 events.
"At the same time we do not intend to become the captive of the
past. Our efforts of international recognition of the Genocide are
directed today at having a more favorable and stable situation in
our region," Robert Kocharyan declared.
