ARMENIAN PRESIDENT CALLED TURKISH PREMIER'S LETTER "NOT ENCOURAGING"
Armenian President Robert Kocharian called the letter received from Turkish Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdogan from the point of view of solution of the Armenian-Turkish relations. Yesterday in the air of the Russian TV Company, specifically, in Zerkalo program, he noted that he would like not to speak of the content of the letter in detail, however he will answer the letter soon. Touching upon the question what the acknowledgement of the Genocide means to Armenia Robert Kocharian underscored Armenians do not have hatred, rather - bitterness. A person can feel something like that when has lost a friend or a relative and the culprit who did it is not punished. "The sensation takes the shape of an all-national one and the vector is rather clearly specified. It is enough to visit the Memorial Complex of Tsitsernakaberd to understand what Armenians feel concerning that day," Robert Kocharian accentuated.
