welcomes the visit of Turkish President Abdullah Gul.
"However, we think that Armenia should not yield its positions,"
Irina Gasparyan, the Federation President, told a news conference in
Yerevan today.
Head of World Yezidi National Union, Aziz Tamoyan doesn't bind hopes
with Gul's visit to Armenia. "Coming to Yerevan, Turkish President
should understand the consequences of this event. He should seek for
ways establish dialog with Armenia and accept that Yezids, Assyrians
and Greeks were also subjected to Genocide in the Ottoman Empire,"
he said.
Arkady Khitarov, head of the Greek Union of Armenia, commented,
"We should always remind Turkey about its past but simultaneously
establish civilized relations with this country."
Asked by a PanARMENIAN.Net reporter to comment on Turkish President's
intention to mediate tensions between Armenia and Azerbaijan, Irina
Gasparyan said she doesn't believe in such mediation, taking into
account friendly Turkey-Azerbaijan relations.
According to Aziz Tamoyan, putting forth the Caucasus Stability
and Cooperation initiative, Turkey tries to freeze the Armenian
Genocide issue
