IRRESPONSIBLE STATEMENTS
YEREVAN, JUNE 23. ARMINFO. The representative of the Youth Union of
ARFD Zinavor Megryan accused today the leader of the Youth Party of
Armenia Sargis Asatryan of making irresponsible statements about
"Armenia having no claims to Turkey concerning the Armenian Genocide."
Megryan says that 4 representatives of the ARFD Youth Union took part
in the June 16-19 Istanbul conference on the prospects and protection
of national minorities in Europe. The event was organized by EUSY
(Turkey) and attending it were youth representatives of the Kurdish
PPK party.
The Armenian delegates raised the Armenian Genocide issue and it
turned out that Turkish youths were completely unaware of the fact due
to Turkey's many year policy of silence and also owing to "Armenian
politicians like Asatryan who coming to Turkey says that Armenia does
not need the recognition of the Armenian Genocide and that the whole
process is initiated by the Armenian Diaspora."
Megryan says that the Armenian delegates provided their colleagues
with printed materials about the Armenian Genocide and discussed the
issue with them a lot outside the conference hall.
Megryan says that the Azeri delegates called Nagorno Karabakh an Azeri
territory and the local population as Armenian national minority
living in Azerbaijan but the chairman of the conference asked the
Azeris no to politicize the event.
