When genocides are committed and repeated it becomes possible because
of the absence of a common position of the international community,
President Serzh Sargsyan said when receiving representatives of the
German Marshall Fund and the Robert Bosch Stiftung Foundation in
Yerevan on Wednesday.
According to the presidential press service, during the meeting the
Armenian leader thanked the two organizations for holding discussions
in such a format. He stressed the importance of such traditional
meetings with heads of state, noting that they provide an opportunity
to communicate directly with academic and analytical circles.
Noting that the German Marshall Fund aims to promote international
peace, security, stability, democracy, economic development
and people's welfare, Sargsyan said that Armenia attaches great
importance to one of the Fund's mission, which is to confront the
global challenges by joint efforts, especially as Armenian foreign
policy lays emphasis on the call to the international community for
tolerance and unity.
Unity is especially important this year when the Armenian Genocide
Centennial is commemorated, it was stressed during the meeting. The
Armenian president said that genocides as gravest crimes against
humanity take place or are repeated when the international community
fails to take a common position.
During the meeting Sargsyan informed his interlocutors about the
significance of the commemorative events on the 100th anniversary of
the Armenian Genocide in Armenia and abroad. He also spoke about the
priorities of Armenia's foreign policy, the Nagorno-Karabakh conflict
settlement process, Armenia-Turkey relations, as well as regional
problems and challenges. He then answered the questions of the guests.
