DO NOT DICTATE TO ARMENIA
`No one must dictate to Armenia what form of governing we want to have’,
said RA Foreign Minister Vardan Oskanyan referring to the negative opinion
of the Venice Commission and the offer of the political Committee to include
the discussion of the Armenian Constitutional Reforms into the PACE session
agenda as an urgent issue.
He noted that we must admit the offers about the general European standards,
but the nation must decide itself what it wants. `It is the problem of the
nation’, said the Minister.
Naturally, Vardan Oskanyan preferred to speak about the RA policy directed
to the recognition of the Armenian Genocide. Oskanyan announced that Armenia
highly appreciates the resolution adopted by the Bundestag. This resolution
is especially important for the fact that Germany admits its fault in the
tragic events of 1915 and calls on Turkey to reconcile with its past.
`The Bundestag resolution is another important step in the inclusion of the
Armenian issues into the Turkish commitments to the EU the coming fall’,
said Vardan Oskanyan.

“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
