14:18 | March 19,2015 | Politics
The Islamic Republic of Iran and Patriarchate of the Great House of
Cilicia issued a joint statement condemning the Armenian Genocide.
This statement has both religious and political importance, explains
Iranian studies expert Karen Lazarian, "This statement has diplomatic
delicacy. The Islamic Republic of Iran expressed its attitude towards
the Armenian Genocide through the Patriarchate. If Iran did it through
our state, it would be politicized."
According to the information of Iranian studies expert, there haven't
been negative reactions from the Islamic society on this statement.
Dean of YSU Faculty of History, Professor Edik Minasyan also stresses
the importance of this statement and reminds that Iran is not only
our neighboring but also friendly country, "I stress the importance
of the role, which this country played during the first years of
independence. Once, Iran was the only way to connect to the outside
world. It has a big role in our history."
To remind, the Islamic Republic of Iran hasn't given an official
response whether on April 24 it will visit Armenia.
The speakers say that in all probability the delegation of Iran will
be in Armenia on April 24.
