/PanARMENIAN.Net/ The President of Armenia doesn't need to choose
between Karabakh and the Armenian Genocide, Harut Sassounian, the
Publisher of The California Courier newspaper said in an interview
with PanARMENIAN.Net.
"These two issues are separate, but equally important for
Armenia. Turkey should not expect any concessions from Armenia
in return for the recognition of the Armenian Genocide which is a
historical fact. It is in Turkey's interest to find the courage to
face this shameful episode of its history," he said.
Asked what should the Armenian community of the United States press
for, he said that the United States should be an impartial mediator
in the Karabakh conflict, render greater assistance to Armenia and
Artsakh, urge Turkey to protect the rights of its Armenian minority,
and return historic Armenian churches to the Armenian Patriarchate
of Constantinople.
