ArmInfo. Dialogue with Turkey must go on, President of the Union
of Russian Armenians and Head of the World Armenian Congress Ara
Abrahamyan said at today's press-conference.
A. Abrahamyan thinks the Armenian-Turkish dialogue must go on not
only at the level of presidents and foreign ministers. It should take
place in all the spheres, including culture and business. This will
much contribute to solution of the existing problems. A. Abrahamyan
said he negatively treats the circumstance that opening of the border
between Armenia and Turkey may be connected with the Armenian Genocide
or Nagorno Karabakh issues. 'The Armenian Genocide cannot be a subject
of trade', he emphasized. A. Abrahamyan recalled that he has twice
offered President Serzh Sargsyan, in written, to solve the issue of
recognition of the Armenian Genocide in the international court. 'The
government of Armenia thinks we are not yet ready to make this step,
while we think this issue should be treated from a scientific point
of view, that will much simplify this process', he said.
According to A. Abrahamyan, he was recently presented about 1700
documents in the USA related to the Armenian Genocide, including the
notes of ambassadors dated to 1915-23. A. Abrahamyan expressed his
discontent with the activity of the Armenian Diaspora and the Embassy
of Armenia in the USA which have not use these documents for a long
time. He expressed hope that the invaluable gift will find a place
in the IV volume of the book 'Armenian Genocide. Responsibility and
Commitments of the World Community'.
