The Forum of Armenian Associations of Europe (FAAE) sent an open letter to Armenian President Serzh Sargsyan, which specifically reads: “We deeply appreciate your dialogue with the Diaspora. We hail your speeches in Chatham House, Der Zor, Washington and, finally, express our gratitude for the correct decision on termination of the current stage of ratification of the Protocols on the Armenian-Turkish normalization.”

According to FAAE, Armenia has only suffered losses in the process of the Armenian Genocide international recognition, due to the initiated process of relations normalization with Turkey. As for the Karabakh conflict settlement, the Forum stressed that the Azerbaijani lobbying organizations have initiated a large-scale action in Europe to promote the Madrid Principles. In FAAE’s opinion, it proves that there is a threat for Armenia in the renewed version of these principles. Besides, FAAE urged to unite the Armenian Diaspora’s efforts both around the Armenian Genocide international recognition and around the Karabakh conflict settlement.
