President's all-Armenian tour - a bold step
Armenian President's all-Armenian tour is a bold step. That's a kind of special approach to Diaspora, said ALCATEL former General Director and President Serzh Churuk after RA President Serzh Sargsyan's meeting with Europe's Armenian community representatives in Paris.
"That's a right approach since Armenia and Diaspora think in different ways," Churuk noted. Yerevan and Ankara will reach consensus, he said, but to achieve that, it is necessary to conduct talks with Turkey. "That's in both countries' interests. It is necessary to make compromise and create cooperation groundwork acceptable to both Armenia and Turkey," ALCATEL ex-President said.
