YEREVAN, JUNE 19, NOYAN TAPAN - ARMENIANS TODAY. According to
preliminary data, the Christian-Democratic Party of Slovakia, which
had a great role in the issue of presenting at the country Parliament
the resolution on the Armenian Genocide, also has a great possibility
to win in the parliamentary elections held in Slovakia on June 17.
As Ashot Grigorian, the head of the Armenian community of Slovakia
explained in the intervew given to Noyan Tapan, possibilities of the
Christian-Democratic Party are also great in the issue of making
a part of the coalition and getting minister's portfolio. In the
case if that happens, according to A.Grigorian, Jan Carnogursky,
the first founder of the Christian-Democratic Party, leader of up to
the recent years, first Prime Minister of Slovakia and the Justice
Minister up to the recent times will be appointed on the post of the
Foreign Minister of Slovakia. The latter stated at the meeting with
A.Grigorian that Armenia, being a very old country, having a rich
culture and good diplomatic school, had implemented a successful
diplomatic work in relations with Turkey during the recent years,
and the Christian-Democratic Party will in future as well assist
Armenia in those diplomatic works. According to Carnogursky, the Iraq
war provoked processes of creation of the Kurd state which are a great
threat for Turkey. Against the background, Armenia has a greater chance
to strengthen its diplomatic victories in the issue of recognition
of the Genocide. According to Ashot Grigorian, it's probable after
the Christian-Democrats' making a part of the coalition that Slovakia
proposes recognition of the Armenian Genocide as a pre-condition for
Turkey's membership to the European Union.

their votes during the elections to the Christian-Democratic Party,
assisting just by it the Armenian-Slovakian relations' being more
effective in both economic and political sphere and recognition of
the Genocide in other countries of the world.
