We are ready for peace, but not setting foot on ancestors' memory: Ashotyan
16:57 / 04/24/2010`We live in the 21st century and Armenia is ready to
overstep its pain and contribute to the establishment of
good-neighborly relations with all states of the region. However, it
should and will not be done setting foot on our ancestors' memory, RA
Education and Science Minister Armen Ashotyan told journalists near
the Armenian Genocide victims' Memorial.
Asked about the prospects of Armenia-Turkey relations, he said that
normalization initiated by RA President Serzh Sargsyan was committed
to the principle &`look ahead, not forgetting the past'. At that, our
neighbors realize the necessity to speak with Armenia on the
international law terms, admitting that Armenia is an independent
state, established on the part of its historical motherland. If Ankara
gets that Armenia will never bury to oblivion the history of its
people, yet being ready for peace and neighborliness, Armenia-Turkey
process will continue,' Ashotyan declared.
Today's patriotism of Armenian people is based on the vision of
future, without tragic watersheds of history.
