Giro Manoyan: We must make not only moral, but also territorial demands of TurkeyApril 23, 2007 - 15:20 AMT PanARMENIAN.Net - "Currently the matter is not so much in recognizing the Armenian Genocide, as recognizing the responsibility of the Turkish government for that crime," "Hay Dat" office head Giro Manoyan stated to a press conference in Yerevan. He said, Today Turkey tries to increase his value both for the U.S. and the European community. "Armenia's foreign policy is clear and right in this connection: we do not put preconditions and are sure the opening of borders must not be connected with the Armenian Genocide, though ARF Dashnaktsutyun thinks if someone has the right for preconditions, it is Armenia and not Turkey. Nevertheless, I am sure our government is on the right way," Manoyan stressed. He also added ARF Dashnaktsutyun thinks it necessary to make not only moral, but also territorial demands of Turkey. "Turkey has problems with all his neighbors - with Armenia, Greece, Iraq. Sooner or later all those demands will be made," the "Hay Dat" office head said.
