    ARMENIAN WRITERS ASSOCIATION OF CALIFORNIA CALLS UPON ARCHBISHOP MESROP MUTAFIAN TO RESIGN

    LOS ANGELES, JULY 3, NOYAN TAPAN - ARMENIANS TODAY. On July 1, the
    Armenian Writers Association of California (AWAOC) spread a report, in
    which it calls upon Archbishop Mesrop Mutafian to resign. "Archbishop
    Mesrop Mutafian is a denier of the Armenian Genocide," the Armenian
    Writers Association of California declared quotting the Patriarch's
    statement to the Turkish media.

    To recap, according to the "Hurriyet," the Archbishop of
    Constantinopole, in particular, said that his opinion concerning
    the Armenian Genocide differs from one of Karekin II Catholicos
    of All Armenians, according to which the Armenian Genocide is an
    undeniable fact for the Armenian people and cannot be subject for
    discussion. According to the Turkish newspaper, when journalists asked
    the Constantinople Armenian Patriarch what he thinks of the statement
    of the Catholicos of All Armenians, Mesrop Patriarch answered:

    "The Turk-Armenian relations did not involve only the years of
    1890-1923.

    The statement of His Holiness was expected for us. (...) All Diasporan
    Armenians were watching that press-conference, so the Catholicos
    spoke, taking into acount approaches of Diaspora. I have said earlier
    as well. It will be good that the issue of 1915 is discussed by
    politicians, diplomates, historians and sociologists, it will help
    that the sides understand approaches of the opposite side."
