"During discussions on Armenian-Turkish ties, Armenian President revealed the essence of Armenian-Turkish Protocols," said Armenian Assembly of America (AAA) Executive Director Brian Arduni. President, according to him, listened to each Diaspora representative's opinion. "Serzh Sargsyan explained that Protocols bore no relationship to either Armenian Genocide or Karabakh conflict," Ardunyan said, adding that Armenian Genocide issue was not subject to discussion, and Diaspora had no intention to renounce claims to Karabakh.

"Discussions are just a component in the process," Arduni noted, highly appreciating RA President's initiative.
