Turkey’s laying claims on Armenian Diaspora is the height of cynicism, Republican Party of Armenia (RPA) parliamentary group secretary Eduard Sharmazanov stated, commenting on the statement by Turkish Foreign Minister Ahmet Davutoglu who said, “Armenian Diaspora is Turkey’s Diaspora.”

“Diaspora is something that has to do with the nation, rather than the government,” the RPA member noted.

“Think of the cynicism one has in laying claims on Diaspora formed as a result of a Genocide and forced resettlement,” Eduard Sharmazanov stressed.
