While the ARFD activists buckle down to the recognition of
Armenian Genocide, in Armenia and outside, and they don't hurry to
"condemn" Serge Sargsyan's announcement regarding the settlement
of Armenian-Turkish entangled string, as a rule, the pro-Turkish
activists of Armenian Pan National Movement don't want to calm down.
The leaders of Armenian Pan National movement and their propaganda
attaché show signs of unexpected "nationalism", more catholic than
the pop.
Fixed on the story of setting up the Committee of historians these
people rage Serge Sargsyan, as usual misrepresenting the facts,
accusing the President in, no more no less than "questioning the
recognition of the genocide".
By repeating like a parrot evident falsehood the new demanders of
Armenian Cause are stubbornly trying to represent their cynical lie
as the truth.
They particularly state that Serge Sargsyan "was the first to
officially agree to setting up the committee of historians that
questions the recognition of the Genocide", proposed by Turkey.
We must remind you that ex-President Robert Kocharyan who has been
rudely criticized by the same circles for his "harsh attitude"
towards the same proposal, has many times offered to establish an
inter-governmental committee to discuss all the issues of concern
linked with Armenian -Turkish relations. And the fact that the
entangled string of the Genocide is the most difficult matter of
concern in Armenian -Turkish relations is beyond doubt. Mostly for
the activists of Armenian Pan National Movement, for whom removing
the issue of the recognition of Armenian Genocide from the agenda
of Armenia's foreign policy has always been a "priority". Something
that is impossible, as Foreign Minister Edward Nalbandyan has already
mentioned. Because the attitude of official Yerevan regarding the
recognition of the Genocide has not changed.
Presidential Press Secretary Samvel Farmanyan said: "Actually
Serge Sargsyan's stance towards Armenian - Turkish relations has
not changed." That is: "Turkey proposed to set up a committee of
historians to study all the facts. We don't mind any investigation,
but the latter doesn't mean misrepresenting the real facts."
And the most important thing is, during his meetings in Moscow Serge
Sargsyan clearly underscored: "we can speak about it only after the
opening of Armenian -Turkish border." Which means - not setting up
the committee but simply discussing that topic.
Serge Sargsyan grounded this stance by the fact, that otherwise in
the conditions of the continuous blockade of Armenia by Turkey, the
issue of opening the border and=2 0establishing diplomatic relations
between Armenia and Turkey will turn into an everlasting dispute
among the historians.
This was the focal point of the announcement made by the President,
that the professional speculators don't want to notice, thus trying
to solve several issues at once.
First: to trick the public, representing themselves the demanders
of Armenian Cause, to gain the sympathy of the majority, those who
are against improving relations with Turkey at the account of the
recognition of Armenian Genocide.
Second: to create enmity between the Diaspora and Armenian authorities.
Third: to thrust a wedge between Dashnaktsutyun and Serge Sargsyan,
to create problems inside political coalition and finally to dismantle
- dissolve the ruling power.
That is to say to realize the mission granted from the heaven, by
which Ter-Petrosyan returned to "active politics" turning Armenia
into the polygon of "military trainings".
