the Armenian Revolutionary Federation Bureau on Monday evening.
ARF Bureau members Dr. Viken Hovsepian, Hagop Der-Khachadourian and
Haig Oshagan, accompanied by ARF Eastern US Central Committee chairman

Armenia's foreign policy, specifically Armenia-Turkey relations and
the Nagorno-Karabakh peace process, Diaspora efforts on behalf of
Armenia and Karabakh, as well as efforts to garner international
recognition of the Armenian Genocide.

protocols.
During the face-to-face meeting with Sarkisian, the Bureau said that
the party's concerns completely would dissipate if Sarkisian rescinded
Armenia's signature from the documents.
