Mkrtich Minasyan: in the course of time, world will compel Turkey to recognize Genocide
International process of Genocide recognition will be activated after Armenian President's visit to Washington, where he plans to participate in global nuclear security summit, RPA member Mkrtich Minasyan said.

"Genocide will be recognized by the international community; we already made sure that some politicians views on the possibility of Armenia-Turkey protocols interfering with international recognition of Armenian Genocide proved wrong," he said, "Armenia-Turkey process triggered a new phase of Genocide recognition process."

Dwelling on Armenia-Turkey rapprochement, Minasyan expressed hope that reason will win and good neighborly relations will finally be established between the two countries. "Sooner or later Turkey will understand it has no other choice," Minasyan told a news conference in Yerevan. "In the course of time, world will compel Turkey to recognize Genocide."

Commenting on Karabakh conflict, RPA member noted that Armenian authorities will succeed in involving NKR in negotiation process. "Armenia will never agree to one-sided concessions," Minasyan stressed, adding that mutual concessions will be impossible until Karabakh status and safety issues are resolved. No final resolution on Karabakh conflict will be taken without NKR's participation, he concluded.
