Vahan Hovhannisyan slams Armenian President's statement
During the meeting with Latvian President Valdis Zatlers, Armenian President Serzh Sargsyan should not have said that Armenia agreed to normalize relations with Turkey without even calling for recognition of the Armenian Genocide by Turkey, ARF Dashnaktsutyun parliamentary group leader Vahan Hovhannisyam said.
At that, he noted that even though the Armenian side refrained from raising the issue with tactical considerations, it's a serious mistake to make statements which let the rival have all the trumps," Mr. Hovhannisyan said.
