YEREVAN, APRIL 24, NOYAN TAPAN. An exclusively good situation has
been formed today in the issue of normalization of Armenian-Turkish
relations, to which, unfortunately, Hrant Dink's murder
contributed. Ashot Grigorian, Chairman of Representation of Armenian
Organizations of Europe, Head of Armenian community of Slovakia,
said in his interview to Noyan Tapan correspondent.
In his words, quick restoration of diplomatic relations with Armenia
proceeds from Turkey's interests. Admission of the term "genocide"
and liquidation of consequences of the genocide also will serve for
Turkey's interests.
"Otherwise some conditions will be forced, which will become a sourse
of great losses for Turkey," A. Grigorian stated.
The Chairman of Armenian community of Slovakia considered as necessary
consolidation of Armenian lobbying structures and activization of
activities in response to the goal outlined at the first Conference
of Azerbaijani and Turkish Diasporas held lately in Baku to
undertate steps against the Armenian Diaspora working very actively
and effectively in the whole world. The conference was held with
participation of Presidents of Azerbaijan, self-proclaimed republic of
North Cyprus and Turkish Prime Minister. The proposal to activize the
work of Turkish and Azerbaijani lobbying was made at the conference
by Azerbaijani President Ilham Aliyev. As A. Grigorian estimated,
for the purpose of coordinating the efforts of Armenian lobbying it
is planned to restore the activities of Forum of European Armenians,
as well as to enlarge the activity of World Armenian Congress.
