"Dear compatriots,

The Soccer Diplomacy initiated by the President of Armenia in September
of last year opened the door for the process of the normalization of
relations between Armenia and Turkey. It has drawn the attention and
the support of the entire international community.

It is clear that this process does not mean to forget the past and to
question the fact and the importance of the recognition of the Armenian
Genocide. The Armenian leaders with the sense of high responsibility
for the future of the motherland and coming generations, act today
with wisdom and courage for the establishment of the relations between
the two countries and the opening of borders without any preconditions.

We support the policy adopted by the Armenian authorities by urging
all our compatriots in Armenia and Diaspora to assist this process
in all possible ways.
