ArmInfo.'Armenia should not make concessions under pressure of one
or another forces in solution of cardinal and prime issues for the
country', Head of the Permanent Commission for foreign affairs, member
of ARF Dashnaktsutyun party faction Armen Rustamyan told journalists.
He said Armenia must oppose to the pressure in any case. 'It is
necessary to fight and go all the way based on the state interests',
he said. A.
Rustamyan also emphasized that ARFD is not against normalization
of the Armenian-Turkish relations. 'The point is at what cost
will it happen. The recent statements by the Turkish authorities
are unfavourable for our state', Rustamyan said and added that
yesterday's statement by the Armenian and Turkish Foreign Ministries
under mediation of Switzerland is unacceptable for ARFD.
'It is unclear for us why they made such a statement just a day before
April 24. If this statement is made even a month before, everything
would be probably different. However, to combine this statement in
the context of the Genocide Day means fulfill what Turkey wants', the
MP emphasized. Rystamyan also said that perfectly realizing Turkey's
diplomacy one should not get into its trap. 'Turkey will never forget
its national interests. It will avail of it and will do its best for
international recognition of the Armenian Genocide to be put off for
several years', A. Rustamyan said.
