Mechanism to Discuss Genocide between Turkey and Armenia Needed

PanARMENIAN.Net - "There should be initiatives to boost mutual understanding and dialogue," Armenian Patriarch in Turkey Mesrob II said in regard to French bill which aims to criminalize denial of the Armenian Genocide that will be voted in the French parliament on October 12th. Releasing a statement, Mesrob II underlined that all countries, especially Turkey and Armenia, should make necessary arrangements to discuss and examine the matter of the Armenian Genocide.



Indicating that all efforts hampering freedom of expression would harm the process of dialogue between Turkish and Armenian communities, Mesrob II stressed: "initiatives to boost mutual understanding, dialogue and empathy should be undertaken without wasting time," Turkishpress writes.
