"THE FACT OF THE ARMENIAN GENOCIDE OR THE IMPORTANCE OF ITS INTERNATIONAL RECOGNITION AND CONDEMNATION HAVE NEVER BEEN AND CANNOT BE PUT UNDER QUESTION"

"The Armenian leadership has several times underlined that the fact
of the Armenian Genocide or the importance of its international
recognition and condemnation have never been and cannot be put under
question. It is not only important for a tribute to the memory of
its victims, but also as prevention of new crimes against humanity",
Armenian Foreign Minister Edward Nalbandian, who is visiting the
Netherlands, said in The Hague giving an interview to the famous
Dutch daily "De Volkskrant".
"Last statement of Turkish Foreign Minister about a creation of a
commission of historians is an attempt to put under question the
recognition of the Armenian Genocide by the Netherlands, by France,
by many other countries and international organisations. That is
nothing, but a continuation of the policy of dangerous denial about
which the President Sarkozy had made a very clear statement during
his visit to Armenia.
Regarding the claims of the Foreign Minister of Turkey as if there has
not been an answer till now to the letter addressed to the President
of Armenia by the Prime Minister of Turkey in 2005, I must note that
the reply letter of the then President Robert Kocharyan was sent and
published on April 25, 2005. The international community and in Turkey
many are well aware of the contents of that letter, may be with the
exception of some, as one may conclude from the statement of Ahmet
Davutoglu", the Minister said.
On the same day, Edward Nalbandian attended the official opening
ceremony of the Embassy of Armenia in The Hague.
Minister Nalbandian expressed confidence that the Embassy will have an
important role in the deepening of comprehensive relations with the
friendly Netherlands. Speaking about the Armenian-Dutch community,
Minister Nalbandian gave importance to its role as a peculiar bridge
in the development of relations between the two peoples.
