"The official Yerevan will never demand Diaspora refuse the recognition of Genocide in the Ottoman Empire. The international recognition of the Genocide is one of the components of RA National security, ARF Dashnaktsutyun Bureau's Hay Dat and Political Affairs Office Director Kiro Manoyan told a news conference in Yerevan. "Yerevan should take firm position on the issue at Ankara negotiations, as stabilization of Turkish -Armenian relations is in Turkey's interests as well."


"The official Genocide recognition is not the end but the beginning of our way. The Turkish society must in its turn recognize the political fact. Genocide recognition must be followed by a compensation to Armenian people," Kiro Manoyan stated.
