ArmInfo. President of Armenia Serzh Sargsyan will never allow haggle
on the Armenian Genocide and Nagorno-Karabakh issues, Director of
the Institute for National Strategic Studies of the Ministry of
Defense of Armenia, political expert Hayk Kotanjyan said during a
press-conference today.
"I perfectly know Sargsyan as a person and, as far as I understand,
this is his personal position. This is the boundary he is obliged
to defend according to the constitution and the national security
strategy," Kotanjyan said.
Turkey seeks to link the Armenian-Turkish rapprochement with the
Nagorno-Karabakh peace process and to force Armenia to give up its
efforts to attain the international recognition of the Armenian
Genocide.
The Armenian Genocide has been recognized by many countries: Uruguay,
Russia, France, Lithuania, the Lower Chamber of the Italian Parliament,
most of the US states, the parliaments of Greece, Cyprus, Argentine,
Belgium, the National Council of Switzerland, the House of Commons
of Canada, the Seim of Poland.
However, Turkey persists in denying the fact of the annihilation of
almost 1.5mln of Armenians in 1915-1923.
