The press secretary of the Armenian Foreign Ministry, Gamlet
Gasparyan, said today that the Turkish media “is trying to mislead the
international community again, claiming that Armenia and the Armenian
diaspora have different approaches to the problem of the genocide”.
The Armenian Foreign Ministry spokesman said this while commenting on
reports in the Turkish newspapers Radikal and Milliyet, which
maintained that the Armenian ambassador to the European Union, Vigen
Chitechyan, had allegedly said that “the genocide problem has been
created by the diaspora”.
“The Armenian ambassador’s statement has been turned upside
down. Touching on the issue of the genocide, Chitechyan usually uses
the phrase ‘the diaspora appeared as a result of the genocide’,”
Gasparyan said and stressed that the Turkish media is using “old
tricks meant for uninformed people”.
