GENOCIDE RECOGNITION - MOST ALARMING ISSUE FOR ARMENIAN PEOPLE

PanARMENIAN.Net - The international recognition of the Armenian Genocide and normalization of relations with Azerbaijan are the priority issues for the Armenian government and people, Armenian Ambassador to Russia Armen Smbatian stated in his online interview on OpenArmenia.com when commenting on frequent reproaches addressed to the Armenian government on the absence of precise program of RA development within the sphere of international relations. Armen Smbatian noted that the Hay Dat (the Genocide recognition) is the most alarming issue for the Armenian people. "You could witness the great attention the world paid to the Genocide 90-th anniversary. And I would like to point out to Russia's attitude towards the issue", the Ambassador noted. As for the Nagorno Karabakh problem, Armenia's position underwent no changes. "Armenia will never tolerate infringement of its national interests. It is necessary to search for a compromise admissible both for Armenia and Azerbaijan", he said.
