Recognition of Armenian Genocide by Turkey security issue for RA
There are three approaches to the Armenian Genocide issue, AFR Dashnaktsutyun parliamentary group Vahan Hovhannisyan said.
"First, Turkey denies the fact of this crime against humanity. Second, Europe insists that Genocide if a fact which should not be used as a tool of pressure on Turkey. Third, Armenia understands that recognition of the Genocide is a security issue for the republic," he told reporters in Yerevan.
"Turkey's is certainly under pressure. It refers to Kurdish issue and open borders with neighbors. We are under pressure as well. However, Armenian Genocide is not an issue for concessions," Mr. Hovhannisian said.
