    YEREVAN, SEPTEMBER 3, NOYAN TAPAN. The ARF Dashnaktsutyun will
    organize civilized protests on the day of Turkish President Abdullah
    Gul's visit to Armenia, vice speaker of the RA National Assembly
    Hrayr Karapetian declared at a September 2 meeting dedicated to
    the anniversary of Artsakh's independence. In his words, although
    the ARG is in favor of establishing good-neighborly realtions, by
    not recognizing the Armenian Genocide, Turkey has not repented yet
    and continues persecuting Armenians, and the assassination of the
    editor-in-chief of Agos newspaper is one evidence of it.

    In the opinion of the ARF Bureau member Levon Mkrtchian, until now
    the Turks have laid flowers on the grave of Talaat Pasha, therefore
    the Turkish people does not realize and admit its crime. "This is
    for the first time that Turkey comes to Armenia as a guest and not
    as a slaughterer," L. Mkrtchian said, adding that the guest should
    be met in the proper way. According to him, there is no alternative
    to improvement of Armenian-Turkish relations but a sincere talk about
    the past should be held.

    The ARF Bureau member Vahan Hovhannisian spoke about the situation
    in Javakhk. He stated that if this Armenian-populated region has
    autonomy as part of Georgia, Armenian is made a regional language
    and the problems of the local schools and courts are solved, then
    those who intend to separate from Georgia will agree to establish a
    Georgian conferederation and accept the idea of being part of Georgia.

    The ARF Bureau member Aghvan Vardanian made a speech on an internal
    political subject. He said that the aspiration of the radical
    opposition to create dual power in Armenia is dangerous as it means
    "opening the country's doors to the influence of strangers".
