The foreign policy as well as the internal one conducted by Serzh
Sargsyan is wrong, the leader of the opposition movement “New Armenia”,
Raffi Hovannisian, told journalists today, as ArmInfo correspondent
reported from Tsiternakaberd.
He also added that Armenia should recall its signature from under
the Armenian-Turkish Protocols. “If we do not respect our interests,
the Armenian genocide will not be recognized”, – he said.
On April 24 the Armenian people commemorates the victims of the
first genocide on the 20th century that was committed in the Ottoman
Empire in 1915. Genocide of Armenians has been recognized by most
of the United States as well as by dozens of countries, including
Canada, Argentina, Switzerland, Uruguay, Russia, Belgium, France,
Poland, Slovakia, the Netherlands, Greece, Cyprus, Vatican, Sweden,
Lithuania.. The European Parliament passed a resolution recognizing
the fact of Armenian Genocide in the Ottoman Turkey on June 18 1987
and demanded the Council of Europe to exert pressure on Turkey in
order that country recognizes the Armenian Genocide. Turkey still
denies the genocide of 1,5 million Armenians in 1915-1923.
