/PanARMENIAN.Net/ The Armenian Genocide recognition campaign lacks
coordination, President of the World Armenian Congress (WAC) Ara
Abrahamyan stated at a press conference in Yerevan today. In his words,
the traditional parties of the Diaspora are engaged in maintaining
the culture, language and traditions and pay little attention to
the Genocide issue. “The WAC is called to fill this gap and during
several years already we hold annual international conference with
the participation of outstanding historians, politicians and public
figures to bring the Armenian viewpoint to the notion of the whole
world,” he said.
Meanwhile ARF Bureau’s Hay Dat and Political Office Director Kiro
Manoyan told PanARMENIAN.Net reporter that the ARFD have been pressing
for the Armenian Genocide recognition for 45 years already. “As result
18 states including France, Russia, Belgium as well as majority of
the U.S. states recognized the Armenian Genocide,” Manoyan emphisized.
