    ARA ABRAHAMIAN: RELEASE OF ARMENIAN PILOTS - OUR COMMON VICTORY

    /PanARMENIAN.Net/ The release of the Armenian pilots is our common
    victory, President of World Congress of Armenians Ara Abrahamian
    stated at today's press conference dedicated to the release of 6
    Armenian pilots held in jail in Equatorial Guinea. In his words,
    Armenia did much for the release. "I cannot say it was easy", he
    noted. According to him, the Armenian government has been negotiating
    the pilots' release for over a year with several officials, including
    Foreign Minister Vartan Oskanian, visiting the African country. Ara
    Abrahamian himself took the advantage of international contacts. As
    result the Pope, UNESCO President and Russian Foreign Minister appealed
    to the leadership of Equatorial Guinea. "There are people who think too
    highly of my service. It is not true and will do harm not only to me
    but also to all Armenian people. All I did was for the consolidation
    of Armenian people", he said. "For the first time we bought to the
    Diaspora's notion that there is a state, which is not indifferent
    to the fate of its citizens independently of their location", Ara
    Abrahamian noted. "Though each country has its own laws I am convinced
    our pilots are innocent and I am happy they are free now", he said. At
    the same time he added that he has undertaken some commitments to
    the leadership of Equatorial Guinea and noted that they will aim at
    the solution of social and financial problems available in the country.
