Congress of Canadian Armenians supports RA President's initiative
On October 3, 2009, President Serzh Sargsyan of the Republic of Armenia met in New York City with invited representatives of Armenian communities from across Canada and the United States.
During the meeting with Diaspora representatives, President made it clear that recently signed Protocols can be no preconditions for either Armenian Genocide recognition and the right of the people of Nagorno Karabakh to live freely. During a 5-hour discussion, participants made proposals and expressed views on Protocols. President Sargsyan was most attentive, and presented well-articulated explanations to all questions. To skeptics, Serzh Sargsyan explained in detail the significance of contentious parts of the agreement and asked critics "not to look for hair in an egg where there is none".
"I am impressed with the fortitude and candor of the President", said Congress of Canadian Armenians representative Pierre Akkelian.
