Andranik Mihranyan: Initiative of Armenia's President shows his courage

PanARMENIAN.Net - The Armenian authorities face the important issue, while the Diaspora is not yet ready to it, Andranik Mihranyan political scientist, professor of the Moscow State Institute for International Relations said.



According to him, the people, bearing responsibility for the future of their country, make the decisions today, while other people, who also want to participate in the talks and who are worried about this country, do not understand the full depth of the issue.



He also welcomed the initiative of the Armenia's President to meet with representatives of Armenian communities. "The Serzh Sargsyan's step to openly discuss the issue of normalization of Armenia-Turkey relations with the Diaspora, shows his courage, " Andranik Mihranyan said. According to him, president's initiative is an attempt to create dialogue between Armenia and Diaspora.



"Only through dialogue Armenians from all over the world can unite and stand before Turkey as a whole", the political scientist said. Armenia is undergoing the period, followed by major changes, he said.



"Changes shouldn't be treated as a defeat or retreat. I think, last year the Armenian diplomacy was excellent, " Mr. Mihranyan said. According to him, the widespread opinion that Turkey has a stronger diplomacy, than Armenia is not true because today Turkey abandons its preconditions, but not Armenia.
