FAAE: Foreign Ministry indifferent to Genocide recognition campaign

PanARMENIAN.Net - Head of the Forum of Armenian Associations of Europe (FAAE) said he repeatedly addressed the Armenian envoys in the region with a request to foster promotion of bills criminalizing the Armenian Genocide denial, but was rejected.

According to Ashot Grigoryan, only Armenian Foreign Ministry’s call for explanation for Slovakian ambassador to Armenia and Azerbaijan Josef Migash’ Genocide denial was significant in promotion of Genocide recognition campaign.

“However, RA Foreign Ministry shows no activity in the process,” he said.

Mr. Grigoryan further explained the situation by his harsh criticism of the Armenian-Turkish protocols, stipulating formation of an interstate group of historians to study the “fact” of Genocide.

“Ratification of protocols would result in full breakdown of Genocide recognition campaign ahead of the 100th anniversary of the crime,” he said,
