The spokesman for the President, Armen Arzumanyan, responded to the
article Why They Recalled Kocharyan published today in Lragir.am
Armen Arzumanyan cited the following parts of the article: “Turkey
proposed consideration of the genocide by the commission of historians
and Kocharyan refused. Instead, the Armenian side proposed discussion
of any issue at an intergovernmental level”.
“An intergovernmental commission can meet to discuss any and all
outstanding issues between our two nations, with the aim of resolving
them and coming to an understanding,” Kocharyan wrote to Erdogan.
The point is that these protocols note the subcommittee of historians.
In other words, what Robert Kocharyan had refused was accepted by
Serzh Sargsyan”.
In connection with these parts, he underlined that this is evidently
misinformation. Arzumanyan says his “assertion can even be proven
by another publication of the same source you analyzed which runs
“Sargsyan dwelt on the joint Armenia-Turkey statement … (noting)…
“Issues related to the genocide will not be discussed by historians
but within one of inter-governmental subcommittees,” which means that
the genocide issue will not be discussed by historians or even the
intergovernmental committee, but one of its subcommittees. This is
a position Serzh Sargsyan has repeatedly issued.
