18:48, 24 March, 2015
YEREVAN, 24 MARCH, ARMENPRESS. Deputy Speaker of the National Assembly
of the Republic of Armenia Eduard Sharmazanov has responded to First
President of the Republic of Armenia Levon Ter-Petrosyan's address to
the international community on the occasion of the Centennial of the
Armenian Genocide. In his speech during the hour of announcements at
the National Assembly, Sharmazanov reminded that the international
recognition of the Nagorno-Karabakh Republic and the international
recognition and condemnation of the Armenian Genocide are the two
major cornerstones in the foreign policy of the Republic of Armenia.
"As we approach the Centennial of the Armenian Genocide, more and
more countries and organizations are condemning the Armenian Genocide.
Brilliant evidence of that are the resolutions that four European
organizations, including the European People's Party, EURONEST
Parliamentary Assembly, the EU-Armenia Parliamentary Cooperation
Committee and the European Parliament have adopted over the past ten
days alone, strictly condemning the Armenian Genocide perpetrated by
Ottoman Turkey. But as we can see, there is a figure who has held a
high office, has been the first president of my country and is now
issuing an address that we can't refer to as an address that serves
for the interests of the Armenian State, even if we really want it
to,"Sharmazanov mentioned, as "Armenpress" reports.
Sharmazanov emphasized that he had been introduced to Levon
Ter-Petrosyan's address and underscored the fact that he would refer
to it as an address that "buries" the claims of the Armenians. He
also stressed the fact that one of the major objectives for Armenia
is claims, and as a result, several countries are not only condemning
the Armenian Genocide, but are also passing laws against denial.
