Serzh Sargsyan continues his pan-Armenian tour in support of the
pre-signed Armenian-Turkish Protocols. Mr. Sargsyan made the second
stop in New York, where he met with representatives of the Armenian
communities of the East Coast and Canada.
Serzh Sargsyan is escorted by President of the RA Constitutional Court
Gagik harutiunian, NKR's ex President Arkadi Ghukasian, Minister of
Diaspora Hranush Hakobian.
Turning to the process of normalization of the Armenian-Turkish
relations and the concerns connected with the pre-signed Protocols,
Serzh Sargsyan once again underlined that Armenia moves forward to
establish relations with Turkey without preconditions.
"I think we have managed to get the maximum at this point," said Serzh
Sargsyan, referring to the concerns that it was possible to arrive at
a more-pro-Armenian document as a result of the Armenian-Turkish talks.
"When we voted for Armenia's independence most of us had concerns about
the future as nothing was calculated to the end. Similarly, during
the Karabakh war we fought for Karabakh's independence and right to
self-determination with many concerns left behind. But we believed our
cause and the struggle was crowned with success," noted Mr. Sargsyan.
Serzh Sargsyan underlined that the fact of the Genocide could not
be discussed within the framework of normalization of relations
with Turkey.
Summing up the meeting in New York, Serzh Sargsyan said: "The most
important for us is to be able to be strong enough to understand each
other in this responsible phase. I believe in the bright future of
Armenia. I believe because I see the correct path."
