    GOAL OF ARFD'S ACTIONS IS TO ONCE MORE RAISE ISSUE OF GENOCIDE BEFORE TURKISH PRESIDENT, ARMEN RUSTAMIAN SAYS

    YEREVAN, SEPTEMBER 4, NOYAN TAPAN. Armen Rustamian, a representative
    of the ARFD Armenian Supreme Body, assured that the actions to
    be initiated by Dashnaktsutiun on the day of Turkish President
    Abdullah Gul's visit are not aimed either against the foreign
    policy of Serzh Sargsyan inviting him to Armenia or against A. Gul's
    visit. As he stated at the September 4 press conference, the goal of
    Dashnaktsutiun's actions is to once more raise the issue of Genocide
    before Gul and to personally present the demand of recognition of the
    fact of Genocide to him. According to A. Rustamian, unless such actions
    are organized, on the very day following the visit the Turks will
    announce all over the world that in the presence of their President
    Armenians "did not say a word" about the issue of Genocide. After
    that Turkey, according to A. Rustamian, the international community
    will say that its observations that the Genocide is the problem of
    the Armenian Diaspora and not of Armenia were right.

    The ARFD figure informed those present that party's activists will
    start their actions on September 5, from the moment of A. Gul's
    arrival, at the airport. The next day, the day of Armenia-Turkey
    football match, the demonstrants will visit Tsitsernakaberd Memorial
    Complex and will keep lighting torches there during the whole
    game. And appeals to recognize the Genocide will be voiced at the
    stadium during the game. Meanwhile A. Rustamian stressed that ARFD
    calls its supporters for not yielding to provocations and not making
    clashes with Turkish football fans.

    He classed as "extreme" the mood in Armenian society in connection
    with the anticipated visit of the Turkish President. "They are so
    happy that one forms an impression that we are meeting our missing
    brother," A. Rustamian said. According to him, it was also unnecessary
    that the Football Federation very quickly changed its logo replacing
    the image of Mount Ararat by the image of a ball.
