CREATION OF SO-CALLED ARMENIAN-TURKISH RECONCILIATION COMMISSION IS TURKEY’S RETURN BLOW TO RECOGNITION OF ARMENIAN GENOCIDE

«Creation of so-called «Armenian-Turkish reconciliation commission» became Turkey’s return blow to the successful process of recognition of the fact of the Armenian genocide by a number of countries of the world,» – representative of Supreme power of Dashnaktsutyun Party in Armenia Armen Rustamian stated in an interview to «Freedom of Speech» program of «Prometheus» TV company. «By creation of the commission Turkey is trying to start a negotiation process with Armenia skirting the global issue of recognition of the Armenian genocide. Besides, the commission sets its task at splitting the Armenian Diaspora. The Turkish representatives of the commission openly declared that if the above mentioned tasks were not carried out, the creation of the commission did not have any meaning,» – Armen Rustamian added.
