On the sidelines of President Obama’s international nuclear summit, Armenian President Serzh Sargsyan met with a delegation of the Armenian Revolutionary Federation Bureau.

ARF Bureau members Dr. Viken Hovsepian, Hagop Der-Khachadourian and Haig Oshagan, accompanied by ARF Eastern US Central Committee chairman Antranig Kasbarian met with Sargsyan.

During the meeting the two sides discussed Armenia-Diaspora relations, Armenia’s foreign policy, specifically Armenia-Turkey relations and the Nagorno Karabakh peace process, Diaspora efforts on behalf of Armenia and Karabakh, as well as efforts to garner international recognition of the Armenian Genocide, ARF Bureau office reported.

After a commemoration event at President Woodrow Wilson’s tomb, where Sargsyan laid a wreath and later made a statement, in an interview with the Armenian Weekly, the Bureau’s Hovsepian urged Sargsyan to rescind Armenia’s signature from the protocols.

During the face-to-face meeting with Sargsyan, the Bureau said that the party’s concerns completely would dissipate if Sargsyan rescinded Armenia’s signature from the documents.
