Armenia's Premiere Tigran Sargsyan met with participants of the Sixth
Pan-Armenian Conference of Journalists.
`You are at the `battle' front. Whoever wins in the information field
will govern the modern-day world. In the information field it is
important to raise our national issues and to act collectively,'
Sargsyan noted.
He stressed that Armenia's Government cooperates with numerous
Armenian institutions worldwide, and recalled that a state commission
has been formed to coordinate the Armenian Genocide's 100th
anniversary events, the Government press service informs.
Responding to a journalist's query on the likelihood of Turkey
recognizing the Genocide one day, Armenia's PM noted: `Armenia greatly
underscores that a class of freethinking intellectuals, who recognize
the fact of the Armenian Genocide, has formed in Turkey today. At
numerous international institutions Turkey will be obligated to accept
the reality of the Genocide.'
In Tigran Sargsyan's words, Armenia cannot retreat from its true and
righteous principles. `We must continue the fight irrespective of what
countermeasures Turkey will resort to,' he said.
Harut Sassounian, publisher of The California Courier, reflected on
the Syrian-Armenians' issues and proposed that the `Hayastan'
All-Armenian Fund's telethon for this year be devoted to them. In this
connection, the PM said: `Armenia's President already has made such
recommendation. We are discussing the matter at present.' Also, Tigran
Sargsyan noted that the Government of Armenia must do everything
within its capacity so that the Syrian Armenians can feel the care
shown toward them.
A Georgian-Armenian journalist asked about the course of
Armenian-Georgian ties. In this regard the PM stressed that regardless
of who sits at the helm of Georgia's authorities, Armenia will do
everything so that bilateral relations become excellent. `We respect
the Georgian people's decision and we need to build very good
relations with Georgia,' the Prime Minister said.
Tigran Sargsyan also reflected on the Armenia-EU ties, ongoing reforms
in Armenia, and other matters of the journalists' interest.
Subsequently, Armenia's Premier presented awards to the
representatives of several Diaspora-Armenian media outlets for their
operative and objective coverage of national issues.
