ARF-D DID NOT HEAR WHAT IT WANTED FROM SARGSYAN-OBAMA MEETING
Tert.am

Armenian Revolutionary Federation (Dashnaktsutiun, ARF-D) deputy
Artsvik Minasyan would like to hear or read any news reports that
would state that Armenian President Serzh Sargsyan asked or urged US
President Barack Obama, during his visit in Washington, to recognize
the Armenian Genocide.
"Unfortunately, I did not see such a news report, at least in the
media," Minasyan said at a press conference today.
Gagik Melikyan, a deputy of the Republican Party of Armenia, in turn,
said he did not share Minasyan's viewpoint.
"I am sure that that issue was discussed by Sargsyan and Obama,"
said Melikyan.
Saying that Obama is a person who possesses high human qualities,
Melikyan mentioned that on April 24 this year Obama will say what
is beneficial for his country. At the same time, in his opinion,
Obama's commemoration address this year will be "a step forward"
compared to the previous addresses delivered by other presidents.
"This year Obama will be tougher over the issue in his speech," said
Melikyan, adding "if not this year, then in the near future US will
recognize the Armenian Genocide."
