The Armenian authorities should, declassify the ‘road- map’ and tell
the society about the content of the document, Chairman of the People’s
party of Armenia Stepan Demirchyan said at today’s press-conference.
According to him, the opposition argues against any preconditions
for establishment of diplomatic relations with Turkey, moreover,
it does not admit creation of a commission of historians to study
the fact of the Armenian Genocide.
Touching on some Turkish and Azerbaijani media, which disseminated an
information about the content of the ‘road-map’, S. Demirchyan said:
‘The authorities of our country continuously claim that one should
not believe in the Turkish sources, however, in this case they should
tell us about the content of the document’.
Commenting on use of the expression "Meds Yeghern" by US President
Barack Obama instead of the word "Genocide", Demirchyan said he does
not consider it recognition of the Armenian Genocide, and that signing
of the "road-map" by Armenia and Turkey is juts the reason of such
a step by B. Obama.
Talking of ARFD’s decision to withdraw from the ruling coalition in
view of the Armenian-Turkish negotiation process, S. Demirchyan refused
to give any comments in this regard and said ARFD "Dashnaktsutyun"
has enough reasons to withdraw from the coalition.
