Armenian-Turkish Protocols complicate work of Hay Dat Committees

PanARMENIAN.Net - Chairman of Hay Dat Central Council Hakob Ter-Khachatryan said that a range of priorities aimed at strengthening of the Armenian statehood are on the agenda of Hay Dat Committees worldwide.

“Hay Dat Committees operate worldwide in four directions: development of Armenia and NKR, solution of the issue on Armenian lands, international recognition of the Armenian Genocide, as well as unification of the Armenian people to make a single political factor in the world,” Ter-Khachatryan told a conference of Hay Dat Committees.

According to him, steps need to be taken to oppose the anti-Armenian policy of the Turkish and Azerbaijani lobby worldwide.

He believes that, despite statements by Armenian officials, the Protocols on the Armenian-Turkish normalization have affected the process of the Armenian Genocide international recognition and complicated work of Hay Dat Committees. Specifically, he pointed to Turkey’s rapprochement with countries of the Arab world, noting that the Genocide recognition has become complicated also in the Arab countries.

Thus, Ter-Khachatryan stressed that we need to start working with international analytical centers and structure, as well as dissident representatives of the Turkish intelligentsia whose opinion on the Armenian Genocide differs from the official Turkish stance.
