January 17, 2014 | 13:50
YEREVAN. - Ruling Republican Party of Armenia Vice-Chairman, Education
and Science Minister Armen Ashotyan has suggested renaming the Republic
of Armenia.
"Public discussions have focused more on the changes in the
political and the governance systems of Armenia. But, in my view, the
constitutional reforms enable a very spectacular and an interesting
opportunity in foreign policy, too.
"Specifically, I propose to discuss the matter of renaming our state,
from the perspective of restoration of historical justice, possession
of the homeland, and claimancy.
"I believe it would be more correct to name the state, which is being
built on this part of the Armenian Plateau, the Republic of Eastern
Armenia. The Armenian Genocide's 100th anniversary is drawing near.
"I will be grateful for the opinions," the minister specifically
wrote on his Facebook account.
