/PanARMENIAN.Net/ The second disturbing development is an invitation
by Armenian officials to Turkey's Foreign Minister to attend the Black
Sea Economic Conference (BSEC) on April 16-17, just days before the
94th anniversary of the Armenian Genocide. Armenia's six-month
rotating chairmanship of BSEC ends on April 30.
While Ankara officials are constantly bombarding Washington with such
fake messages, the Armenian side stays astonishingly silent, giving
credence to Turkish misrepresentations which are intended to undermine
the prospects of any U.S. declaration on the Armenian Genocide.
`It is hard to believe that the Armenian government would invite the
Turkish Foreign Minister to Armenia just one week before April
24. Mr. Babajan, a Genocide denialist and high-ranking official of a
hostile country that is blockading Armenia, should never be welcomed
in Yerevan, unless he intends to place a wreath at the Armenian
Genocide Memorial Monument and offers an apology to the Armenian
people,' The California Courier editor Harut Sassounian emphasized.
