The normalization of the Armenian and Turkish relation began earlier
than the football diplomacy. This opinion was expressed by the director
of Yerevan and Nagorno-Karabakh regional office of the Armenian
Assemble of America Arpi Vardanyan, on April 3, at the Tesaket press
club. She said that the current process is the result of a process
launched years ago, when the attitude of the world was changing toward
the recognition of the Armenian genocide "drop by drop", this dispute
was spoken more about both by states and peoples, people started
asking questions in this connection in Turkey too. "People were asking
themselves, whether what they had been taught is true. If such a thing
happened, why am I unaware of it? This kind of questions were given in
Turkey", says Arpi Vardanyan. She stated that the Armenian Assemble of
America hopes that visiting Turkey Obama will reiterate his decision
in regard with the Armenian genocide recognition. Arpi Vardanyan says
that that the Turks will of course do everything possible to prevent
the recognition even by means of blackmail, but the Assemble expects
Barak Obama to be a man of word and pronounce the word genocide.
According to Arpi Vardanyan, the Armenian and Turkish border should be
opened without preconditions. "Neither the Nagorno-Karabakh conflict,
nor the Armenian genocide recognition should be a precondition for
it", stated Arpi Vardanyan. She state that an agreement is little
probable to be signed on April 16, as the Western media wrote.
In reply to the reporters' question, what will be the next step of
the Armenian Assemble of America after the genocide recognition, Arpi
Vardanyan answered that this question is up to the Armenian people
to be decided, and the Assemble has no right to decided it by itself.
