Oskanian: Armenia and Armenian Diaspora Demand Recognition and Denouncing Events in 1915March 28, 2006 - 14:03 AMT PanARMENIAN.Net - If there were no events in 1915, there would have been no concept of "Armenian Diaspora", Armenian FM Vartan Oskanian stated in an interview with Turkish Hyurriet newspaper. In his words, Armenia and the Diaspora demand that the events in 1915 be recognized and denounced. On the other hand, V. Oskanian added, the closing of the borders and absence of relations between Yerevan and Ankara deepens the gap between the two countries. "Thus Armenian and Turkish peoples do not have an opportunity to replace old memories by new ones. The Armenian Diaspora wishes the best to Armenia: establishment of good relations with neighbors. We hope that the Turkish people also wish to establish good relations with the neighboring country," the Armenian FM said.
