    HERITAGE PARTY CONDEMNS REFUSAL OF PACE PRESIDENT TO VISIT GENOCIDE MEMORIAL AT TSITSERNAKABERD

    ArmInfo. "The Heritage Party and its parliamentary fraction consider
    the Parliamentary Assembly of the Council of Europe (PACE) president
    Mevlut Cavusoglu's decision to not visit the Armenian Genocide
    Memorial, at Tsitsernakaberd in Yerevan, to be a behavior that is
    unbecoming of the head of this prestigious European organization. And
    during their meeting with Mr. Cavusoglu today, Heritage's MPs will
    inform him about this, in person",- says today's statement by Heritage.

    "With such demeanor, Mr. Cavusoglu explicitly confesses that
    he does not consider himself as the head of an influential
    institution-comprising a multinational European family-that pursues
    the implementation of democratic processes and the protection of
    human rights, but, rather, as a Turkish official who, presently having
    assumed the duties of the PACE president, seems to want to make use
    of this institution's leverage for the benefit of Turkey's nowadays
    leaders and Azerbaijan.

    In the view of Heritage, Mevlut Cavusoglu, who, because of the fixation
    to deny the tragedy of the Armenian people-who have been subjected to
    a genocide and have lost their homeland-and disguising his current
    official stay in Armenia as that of a working visit and refusing to
    stop at Tsitsernakaberd, is one of those Turkish politicians whose
    statements and political conduct demonstrate that he is a modern-day
    follower of the Kemalist-Bolshevik conspiracy "deal" of the past.

    It is apparent, therefore, as to the objectives Mr. Cavusoglu
    is pursuing through his unconcealed steps being taken toward the
    new makeup of the PACE subcommittee on the Mountainous Karabagh
    Republic affairs. With this statement, Heritage yet again affirms
    for this Turkish political figure, and his supporters and probable
    "instructors," that the real issue at hand is the de jure international
    recognition of the Mountainous Karabagh Republic, which is already
    established de facto. And the outstanding matter is the return of
    the territories which, defined by Artsakh's constitution and under
    international law, belong to Artsakh and which are under Azerbaijani
    occupation to this day. And PACE's leadership can, and is obligated
    to, mediate with the aim of peacefully resolving these questions.

    The Heritage Party once more calls Armenia's authorities to officially
    recognize the established independence of the Mountainous Karabagh
    Republic. And no Turkish official, nor any other foreigner who refuse
    visiting Tsitsernakaberd, can erase, or send into oblivion, the reality
    of the Armenian Genocide and the Great Dispossession of Homeland,
    and the just cause and the truthful vision of all Armenians",- says
    the statement.
