YEREVAN, OCTOBER 5, ARMENPRESS: Armenian President Serzh Sargsian's
All-Armenian tour is "unprecedented and is a new quality in the
Yerevan-Diaspora intercourse", said the participants of the New York
meeting of the Armenian President Serzh Sargsian within the frameworks
of his All-Armenian tour.
The opinions differed as to the protocols. The representatives of
Office for Armenian Cause and the Union of Armenian Relief were against
the protocols, opinions of other figures of Armenian communities
were positive.
Responsible for the East Cost office of the Union of Armenian
Relief Angel Manoukian is most of all bothered by the issue of the
Genocide. "Fair claim for the Genocide is the most important share
for the Armenian Mother," she said.
Member of the World Council of Churches bureau Vigen Aykazian
noted that he has no suspects that the issue of the opening of the
borders must be settled and is agree with the "viewpoint of the
unconditioned state". "On the whole I can say that it is good. But
there are points that need explanations especially when the issue of
historians is arisen."
"There were very hot discussions and they will probably be
continued. But this is a part of the process. It is important that
the Armenian President definitely pointed out that there will be no
regress in the Genocide issue and no concessions are intended in the
Karabakh issue," said the executive director of Armenian Assembly of
America Bryan Ardouni.
Head of the Council of the Eastern Diocese of the Armenian Apostolic
Church Oskar Tatosian said that the majority of the Diaspora is still
silent; most people are for the development of Armenia and support
the initiative of the Armenian President.
Primate of the Eastern American Diocese of the Cilicia, Archbishop
Oshakan Choloian stressed the issue of participation of the Armenians
which is especially important for the clergymen.
Head of the Toronto branch of Armenian all-Armenian during the
meetings the aim of establishment of the sub-commission of historians
is discovered. "It is praiseworthy that it will discuss not the issue
of the Genocide but its consequences or the fate of the Armenian
monuments in Turkey," he said.
After the exchange of thoughts the New York meeting ended with the
concluding speech of the Armenian President.
The All-Armenian tour of President Sargsian continues. Next stop is
in Los Angeles.
