    ANNOUNCEMENT BY 3 POLITICAL PARTIES ON PRESIDENT SARKSIAN'S VISIT TO LOS ANGELES

    http://www.asbarez.com/2009/09/30/announc ement-by-3-political-parties-on-president-sarksian %e2%80%99s-visit-to-los-angeles/
    Sep 30, 2009

    We find the visit by Armenian President Serzh Sarkisian to important
    Diaspora communities to consult on the already agreed upon protocols
    on the establishment and development of relations between Armenia
    and Turkey to be late and moot.

    It is unfortunate that because of his foreign policy and defeatists
    approaches to our national issues, the president wasted a great
    opportunity to elevate Armenia-Diaspora cooperation and strengthen
    our national unity.

    The president's plan could have been welcomed if it were prior to
    already approving the aforementioned protocols, which are fateful and
    important for our nation, and not after having already made a decision.

    This completely changes the nature of the visit, making it a publicity
    stunt, which is severely insulting to all Armenians.

    Nevertheless, in the name of our martyrs and our history we are
    obligated to accept an invitation for a consultative meeting between
    the president and community organizations, which will take place prior
    to a gala. We will utilize this opportunity to directly convey to the
    president the basis for our unequivocal opposition to the protocols.

    We cannot hide the fact that we have been insulted as a result of the
    president's incomprehensible haste to sign these harmful documents,
    and on the eve of a sad chapter in our people's history, we cannot
    take part in any gala honoring the president. This event will only
    bolster the disregard to our history, the memory of our martyrs,
    our national dignity and collective convictions and will diminish
    our national struggle.

    Thus, we announced that we will not be able to accept the invitation
    to a gala banquet in Los Angeles.
