    DIASPORA WON'T ABANDON PURSUIT FOR ARMENIAN GENOCIDE RECOGNITION, SAYS SDHP

    "No way will the Diaspora abandon its pursuit of Armenian Genocide
    recognition," head of Social Democrat Hunchukian Party's (SDHP)
    American office Hambik Sarafian stated at a press conference today
    in Yerevan. Referring to the protest action of three established
    parties in Los Angeles yesterday, he stated that diasporan parties
    have a united opinion on the Armenian-Turkish Protocols.

    According to him, Armenian established parties don't consider the
    pursuit of Armenian Genocide recognition from a political point
    of view, and they are of the same opinion on that issue. According
    to Sarafian, the Armenian-Turkish Protocols don't promise anything
    positive; rather, they include risks connected with the recognition
    and pursuit of the Armenian Genocide.

    Sarafian stated that Armenia should have a clear approach in the
    issue of Armenian Genocide recognition and they should distinguish
    it from state policy. That is, according to him, there should be
    Diaspora-Homeland concepts and it should be clear which has what
    priorities.

    Continuing, Sarafian said Armenia has no right to raise the issue
    of the Armenian Genocide, and Diaspora has no right to interfere
    with Armenia's state affairs. "Turkey's long-lasting policy of
    disassociating Armenia from the Diaspora is indirectly becoming
    reality," he said.

    In Sarafian's opinion, by getting involved in the current process
    of establishing Armenia-Turkish relations, Armenia is putting those
    countries that have recognized the Armenian Genocide in an awkward
    situation.
