China should be engaged in Armenian Genocide recognition process


China should be engaged in the Armenian Genocide recognition process, according to the National Neoconservative Movement of Armenia (NNM).

“Resistance to pan-Turkism projects and preclusion of Turkish expansion to Central Asia and Xinjiang Uyghur Autonomous Region of China is an issue of national security for PRC. The recent crackdown on ethnic Uyghurs caused a chill in relations between China and Turkey,” the central committee of National Neoconservative Movement of Armenia said in a statement obtained by PanARMENIAN.Net. “Official Ankara’s criticism of the developments in XUAR marked the importance of the Caucasus region for China.”

The NNM said it will hold a protest action in front of the Chinese Embassy in Yerevan to call on China to recognize Armenian Genocide and describe the Azeri aggression against Nagorno Karabakh as a consequence of pan-Turkic program.

“As Taiwan is to join China, so Artsakh should rejoin with Armenia,” the NNM said in the statement to be conveyed to the Chinese Embassy in RA.
