Yerevan to continue pursuing recognition of Armenian Genocide - President
September 24, 2011 | 15:16
NEW YORK - The approaching 100th anniversary must become a breaking
point in terms of international recognition and condemnation of the
Armenian Genocide, said the President of Armenia Serzh Sargsyan at the
solemn reception organized by Armenian Embassy in the U.S., Permanent
Mission of Armenian to the UN, and Armenian-American organizations.
`I know how difficult it was for our Diaspora compatriots to
understand and accept out initiative on establishing normal relations
with Turkey. It was not a coincidence that in this regard President of
Armenia made the first pan-Armenian tour in the history of independent
Armenia. I did my best to personally listen to our compatriots and
present our approaches. I shared and understood the concern and
criticism expressed by the Diaspora. However, I also believe that
regardless of results, Armenia-Turkey regognition process has been
initiated timely. From the international community point of view, we
now have different, stronger Armenia, stronger Diaspora and stronger
Armenia-Diaspora ties,' said the President.
