Recently, the Republic of Armenia has been officially supporting the process of international recognition of Armenian Genocide, which is welcome, according to the chairman of RA NA Standing Committee for Defense, Security and Internal Affairs, ARF Dashnaktsutyun parliamentary group member Hrayr Karapetyan.
Yet, surprisingly, the RA government passed a negative resolution on ARFD-initiated bill, envisaging criminal penalty for negation of the Armenian Genocide. “Negative governmental resolution runs counter to Armenian national security strategy,” Mr. Karapetyan told a news conference in Yerevan.
