Hilda Tchoboian: European Armenians Can Become Key to Armenia-Europe Relations
One of important nuances of Armenia-Europe relations is the reality of the Armenian Genocide, which is also part of the Europe's past, Chair of the European Armenian Federation (EAFJD) Hilda Tchoboian stated today in Yerevan within the Armenia-Diaspora Third All-Armenian Forum. In her words, Europe realizes that European Armenians have survived a Genocide. Moreover, in Europe's consciousness Armenia's independent statehood is a proof of revival, for which Armenians of Europe fought for almost a century, she added.

The EAFJD leader noted that Armenians come out as united before the Europarliament and the European Council and "those institutions cannot ignore our will." "Only politicized Armenians of Europe can become a key in Armenia-Europe relations," she summed up.
