/PanARMENIAN.Net/ "Not only signing of RA -Turkish protocols
threatens international recognition of Armenian Genocide, it also
poses risks where Armenian Diaspora’s financial and political support
is concerned," Heritage Parliamentary Faction Leader Stepan Safaryan
told a news conference.
According to Safayan, Diaspora is Armenia’s only strategic
ally. "Should we not reckon with Diaspora while signing RA-Turkish
protocols, we’ll be unable to turn to it in future," Heritage
representative said.
Stepan Safaryan characterized RA President’s pan-Armenian tour as a
belated step.
"Presidential meetings with Armenian Diaspora will carry imitational
nature. We’re aware of Diaspora’s negative attitude towards RA-Turkish
rapprochement, so meetings with RA president will mostly be attended
by those ready to support him," Safaryan concluded.
