/PanARMENIAN.Net/ US Secretary of State Hillary Clinton's statement
on formation of Armenian-Turkish commission of historians proved that
Turkey gained advantages in the Armenian Genocide issue, according
to Armen Rustamyan, member of ARF Dashnaktsutyun.
"With the exception of Armenian ruling coalition, all sides engaged in
the RA-Turkey normalization process are speaking about formation of
a commission of historians to study the 1915 tragic events. It means
that the issue of international recognition of the Armenian Genocide
was placed in the framework of Armenian-Turkish bilateral relations,"
he said.
"I was in Zurich last fall with the foreign ministers of Turkey,
Armenia, Russia, France, other countries to witness the signing of
a set of protocols to normalize relationships between Armenia and
Turkey. And in those protocols, there was an agreement between the two
countries to establish a historical commission that would look at all
of the issues that are part of the past," Secretary Clinton said in
an interview with Vladimir Pozner of Russian First Channel Television.
"And I think that's the right way to go, I think, to have the two
countries and the two peoples focusing on this themselves. I have
said many times we cannot change the past we inherit. All we can do
is try to have a better future."
