Turkey is a genocide perpetratorJune 4, 2010 - 14:59 AMT PanARMENIAN.Net - The Armenian-Turkish dialogue will not be in deadlock for a long time, according to Hayk Babukhanyan, the leader of the Constitutional Right Union. He hailed the RA President’s decision to freeze the process of ratification of Armenian-Turkish Protocols. “The process will not be resumed unless change of power takes place in Turkey and the country ‘returns’ under the U.S. supervision and opens the border with Armenia. But once the dialogue is resumed, it’s Armenia who should speak to Turkey with the language of preconditions, i.e. Yerevan should demand recognition of the Armenian Genocide, compensation and elimination of consequences and protection of rights of national minorities in Turkey,” Babukhanyan told journalists on June 4. He also emphasized that Turkey is a genocide perpetrator and its mentality will not change. “Denial of Genocide remains one of Turkey’s foreign policy priorities. If given an opportunity, Turkey will plot another genocide against Armenians,” he concluded.
