Creation of intergovernmental committee of historians - unacceptable for Armenia

PanARMENIAN.Net - In connection with recently signed Protocols between Armenia and Turkey, Armenian National Congress (ANC) has released a statement which says that Armenian-Turkish rapprochement is in the interest of both states, as well as regional and global security. Bilateral Protocols mark tangible progress in Armenian-Turkish rapprochement, activists say.



However, ANC disapproves plans for creating an intergovernmental committee of historians, as that may question the fact of Armenian Genocide. ANC members express concerns that ratification of documents by two countries' parliaments may enable President Sargsyan to share RA Parliament's responsibility with regard to border opening, whereas Turkey may delay ratification process, refusing to open Armenian-Turkish border because of unresolved NKR conflict.
