MANOYAN: ASHOTIAN’S PROPOSAL TO RENAME ARMENIA INOPPORTUNE
Monday,
January
27
Armen Ashotian’s proposal to rename the Republic of Armenia is
inopportune, the head of ARFD Bureau’s Hay Dat and Political Affairs
Office Kiro Manoyan said at a meeting with reporters today.
According to Manoyan, instead of that, the party of which Ashotian
is a member – the Republican Party of Armenia (HHK) should change
the policy it implements.
“They must renounce the Armenian-Turkish protocols. HHK , which has
constituted a majority in the Armenian parliament in the last two
years, should not have rejected the proposal to declare November 22 (
the day when U.S. President Woodrow Wilson signed the Arbitral Award )
Patriotism Day,” Manoyan stated.
We would remind you that Armenian Minister of Education and Science,
deputy chairman of the ruling HHK Armen Ashotian proposed to rename
the Republic of Armenia to ‘the Republic of Eastern Armenia’. “I
propose to discuss the issue of the state’s renaming from a viewpoint
of restoration of historical justice, patriotism, and lawful demands,”
Ashotian said.
