MP Aram Sargsyan, the leader of the Democratic Party of Armenia,
qualified the activity of the Armenian diplomatic structures abroad
as indifferent and defeatist.
During today's press-conference, he noted that he participated in the
March 12-16 international "Dialogue of Cultures and Civilizations"
forum held in Paris under UNESCO's aegis, and was even elected a
member of the Coordination Committee of the forum. He said that he
was going to make a speech on the second day of the conference during
a round table meeting, and the less time was left until his speech,
the more Turkish representatives appeared in the hall.
After A.Sargsyan's speech, the Turkish representatives pointed out
the "tactlessness" of using the term "genocide" at such an academic
forum. Moreover, a young journalist from one of the Turkish TV
companies asked him to give an interview. The Armenian MP noted that
she smiled and was very kind before obtaining the interview, but she
stopped smiling as soon as the camera was turned on. "I am amazed at
the fact how actively and purposefully Turkish representatives prepare
for such forums and how they try to exert psychological pressure on
Armenian representatives and create the impression that they are ready
for a dialogue. At the same time, there were no representatives of
the Armenian Embassy or mass media. Amazing indifference," the leader
of Armenian Democrats said.
