Strangely enough, Turkey did its best to draw the world’s attention to the passage of Armenian Genocide resolution at US House Foreign Affairs Committee. Withdrawal of Turkish Ambassador from US was an obvious example of it, Armenian Democratic Party chairman Aram Sargsyan said.

As he told a news conference in Yerevan, Turkey’s words do not match its actions. “In this context, a policy of “zero problems with neighbors” Turkey spoke about earlier is no more than a wish,” he noted, adding: “Turkey’s unwillingness to recognize the Genocide, makes the idea of “zero problems with neighbors” unfeasible.”

Commenting on current Armenia-Turkey rapprochement process, Armenian Democratic Party chairman stated that only political situation can induce Turkey to sign Protocols, under the influence of US.

Sargsyan expressed doubts over the possibility of resolution passage at US Congress. “US is using the issue as a leverage of pressure on Turkey,” he noted.

Dwelling on the possibility of hostilities resumption in Karabakh, he said that Azerbaijan will venture the step only in case it’s assured of US and Turkey’s assistance.

Aram Sargyan characterized early elections in Armenia as unjustified, with ANC not enjoying population’s support. “Armenian people need a new opposition, with new ideas. And we are working towards forming such opposition,” he stated.
