"Restoration of justice instead of international recognition of the
Armenian Genocide." Harout Sassounian, publisher of the California
Courier, suggests changing the wording and emphasizes ahead of
the 100th anniversary of the Armenian Genocide. According to him,
"recognition" is already an old term, the fact of the Armenian genocide
is an irrefutable fact for the world. However, Turkey cannot be forced
to accept its history. Therefore, the struggle of Armenians should
now concentrate on the restoration of justice.
"Armenia is conducting a generally normal foreign policy. We have had
neither great achievements, nor serious failures," Harout Sassounian
told reporters today. Assessing the strong and weak sides of the
Armenian foreign policy, the publisher said: "In this sphere the
state had to start everything over and has been trying to improve
the situation, but what we lack in the sphere is courage."
Harout Sassounian suggests the Armenian authorities to direct the
steps against the terrible injustice against the Armenian people in
1915-1923. According to him, Armenia cannot pose territorial claims
on Turkey, but the Diaspora can.
Editor of the California Courier suggests a new format to reinforce
the Armenia-Diaspora ties and to make the joint actions more
effective. He suggests forming a new parliament comprised of
Diaspora representatives, which will represent the interest of
world-spread Armenians. This body can considerably reinforce the
Armenia-Artsakh-Diaspora trinity, Sassounian says.
Touching upon the Artsakh issue and the situation created as a result
of the transfer of Ramil Safarov, the publisher said "the Armenian
side is demonstrating a somewhat wrong attitude instead of making
use of the situation."
According to him, Armenia should make it clear to the world that
the freedom-loving people cannot live in a country, which honors
axe-murderers. However, the most challenging problems Armenians face
today, is the physical survival of Syrian Armenians.
