HAMLET GASPARIAN: TURKISH NEWSPAPERS TURN UPSIDE-DOWN RA AMBASSADOR'S WORDS ABOUT GENOCIDE
YEREVAN, MARCH 18, NOYAN TAPAN. The Turkish newspapers "Radical" and "Miliet" have turned upside-down the statement attributed to the Armenian Ambassador to the European Union Vigen Chitechian. The spokesman for the RA Foreign Ministry Hamlet Gasparian stated this, when commenting, at the request of reporters, on the allegation by the above mentioned newspapers that during his speech made at the Commission on Cooperation between Armenia and the European Parliament in Strasbourg last week, Vigen Chitechian said, "The Genocide problem was created by the Diaspora." Hamlet Gasparian underlined that in connection with the genocide issue Ambassador Chitechian usually uses the expression "The Diaspora itself has been created as a result of the Genocide." "I think the Turkish press, for propaganda purposes, is trying once again to mislead the international community into thinking that there is a contradiction between the approaches taken by Armenia and the Diaspora to the Armenian Genocide. "This is an old Turkish trick indented for those uninformed," the RA Foreign Ministry spokesman stated.
