Acknowledgment of Genocide by Turkey to promote Armenian-Turkish reconciliationOctober 8, 2009 - 15:00 AMT PanARMENIAN.Net - It's wrong to lay the responsibility for international recognition of the Armenian Genocide on Diaspora, ARF Bureau's Hay Dat and Political Affairs Office director Kiro Manoyan said. "Armenia should urge Ankara to annul all laws envisaging punishment for the Armenian Genocide discussion in Turkey. At that, official Yerevan should announce that international recognition of the Genocide is a priority of Armenia's foreign policy," he said. According to Mr. Manoyan, Armenia should insist that acknowledgment of the Genocide by Turkey will promote Armenian-Turkish reconciliation. ![]() ![]() Azerbaijani authorities report that they have already resettled 3,000 people in the Nagorno-Karabakh town of Stepanakert.
