ARF "Dashnaktsutyun" is sure that the fact of the Armenian Genocide
cannot become a subject of discussions between the presidents of
Armenia and Turkey, member of ARFD Bureau Aghvan Vardanyan told
journalist today in the National press-club when commenting on the
latest statements of RA President Serzh Sargsyan on readiness for a
wide dialogue with Turkey, including on the Genocide issue.
As A. Vardanyan said, '99% of the world Armenians will never agree
to discuss the fact of the Genocide'. At the same time he said he
considers Yerevan-Ankara negotiations quite possible, however, he is
sure that the fact of the Armenian Genocide cannot be open to question,
'as the Armenian Genocide is the issue of the past, present and the
future'. A. Vardanyan thinks that just Turkey is the country which
puts obstacles to establishment and development of diplomatic relations
between the two countries, which carries out the republic's blockade,
strongly denies the fact of the Genocide and keeps on blackening
Armenia in the eyes of the world community.
'I think it is abnormal when CE member- country with such a heavy
ballast as Turkey strives for EU. I do not understand how Abdullah
Gul intends to arrive in Yerevan and attend a football match between
the national teams of Armenia and Turkey', A. Vardanyan resumed.
