DASHNAKTUTYUN PARTY THINKS ARMENIAN DELEGATION REFUSAL TO PARTICIPATE IN ARMENIAN-TURKISH RECONCILIATION COMMISSION BELATEDDecember 13, 2001 - 22:34 AMT PanARMENIAN.Net - The reconciliation between Armenia and Turkey is not possible without recognition of historic truth and Armenian-Turkish dialog will be productive if Ankara recognizes the 1915 genocide of Armenians in Ottoman Turkey. This is stated in the statement of the Dashnaktutyun party Bureau. The party realizing the necessity of the constructive dialog between the two countries considers unacceptable to part the responsibility of Turkey for the genocide of Armenians from the Armenia-Turkey relations. This issue, the authors of the statement note, must be the main in Armenia's foreign policy. The Dashnaktutyun party leadership is sure the campaign on the international Armenian genocide recognition will have enormous scale. The party considers the refusal of Armenian delegation of further participation in the Armenia-Turkish reconciliation commission belated. The Armenian part representatives and the sponsoring Armenian Assembly of America should have understood from the very beginning that Turkey would make any steps to block the issue on the 1915 Armenian genocide recognition. Dashnaktutyun regards the panel activity as venturesome one and lays the responsibility for it on those who participated in and assisted the panel activities.
