Turkey’s recognition of the Genocide will promote the atmosphere of mutual trust and stability in the region, Prime Minister Hovik Abrahamyan stated at the opening of the 5th Armenia-Diaspora conference.

“The Nagorno Karabakh conflict remains unsettled, while Azerbaijan continues with its bellicose rhetoric and arms race. Turkey, in turn, holds on to its one-sided policy line, keeping Armenia in a blockade.

Complicated Russian-Georgian relations also don’t contribute to the regional stability, preventing Armenia from making full use of transit possibilities and economy ties.

All of the above induces Armenia to be flexible in its foreign policy, with the country’s leadership taking every effort to provide safety and stable development,” Abrahamyan said.

The official further noted the invaluable role of Diaspora in the Genocide recognition campaign. He also slammed Turkey’s inability to come to terms with its past, while promoting its denialist views.

In conclusion, he expressed confidence that with unified efforts, the historical justice will be restored.
