  U.S.-based publisher urges to demand for justice in Genocide issue October 9, 2012 - 16:39 AMT PanARMENIAN.Net - The Publisher of The California Courier Glendale-based weekly assessed Armenia’s foreign policy over the last 45 years, including the Genocide recognition campaign as a steady one, without major failures or achievements. At news conference in Yerevan, Harut Sassounian expressed a slight dissatisfaction over the government’s course. As he noted, Armenia’s interests could have been better presented in the documents signed, with the country capable of more firmness in its policy line. According to the publicist, Genocide recognition demand has recently been causing more harm than good. “Armenia’s restricting itself to Genocide recognition demand, rather than calling for return of territories, financial contribution and preservation of cultural heritage, which only makes Turks happy. We must demand for justice,” Sassounian urged. In conclusion, the publicist suggested creating a 350-member parliament to coordinate Diaspora activities.
