BAKU: US Armenians Refuse To Meet Nalbandian

US ARMENIANS REFUSE TO MEET NALBANDIAN

Members of the Armenian National Committee of America (ANCA) refused
to meet with Armenian Foreign Minister Edward Nalbandian during his
visit to Washington last week, according to the US-based Armenian
Reporter newspaper.

Only representatives of the Armenian Assembly of America met with
Nalbandian.

Pundits did not rule out that ANCA`s decision was due to the developing
relations between Turkey and Armenia.

Protesting against the ongoing talks on normalization of
Turkish-Armenian relations, the Committee stated that the talks aimed
to distract attention from the "genocide of Armenians."

Armenia and Turkey have been at odds and the border between the
two countries has been closed since 1993 on Ankara`s insistence due
to Armenia`s occupying Azerbaijani territory and Armenian genocide
claims. Yerevan is failing both to end the occupation and to relinquish
its territorial claims against Turkey, as well as continues propagating
the alleged genocide claims throughout the world. However, there
have been signs of normalization in Ankara-Yerevan ties of late,
and the two countries` officials have held several rounds of talks
on various levels.

Emil Lazarian: “I should like to see any power of the world destroy this race, this small tribe of unimportant people, whose wars have all been fought and lost, whose structures have crumbled, literature is unread, music is unheard, and prayers are no more answered. Go ahead, destroy Armenia . See if you can do it. Send them into the desert without bread or water. Burn their homes and churches. Then see if they will not laugh, sing and pray again. For when two of them meet anywhere in the world, see if they will not create a New Armenia.” - WS
