RA President's meeting with Armenian community members is very important for us, AAC Eastern Eparchy Primate and National Council of Churches USA Chairman, Archbishop Vigen Haykazyan said, commenting upon Serzh Sargsyan's meeting with Armenian community representatives in Los Angeles. He also expressed support to Armenian authorities' position on Armenian-Turkish ties.

Nevertheless, Archbishop stressed the need for clarifying certain clauses in Armenian-Turkish Protocols. Armenian Diaspora, he said, was formed as a result of Genocide, hence such basis cannot be erased from people's minds.
