YEREVAN, NOVEMBER 9, ARMENPRESS: A spokesman for Armenian foreign ministry said Armenia’s policy for international recognition of the 1915 genocide has not changed and remains one of its foreign policy priorities. His comment came in response to Azeri and Turkish media reports that Yerevan may be considering a shift in its policy to help normalization of ties with Turkey. The reports claimed the shift may be indicated by lack of a regular reference to the genocide in next year’s draft budget sent to parliament for approval.
The spokesman, Hamlet Gasparian, told Armenpress that the draft budget has no relation to Armenia’s consistency and decisiveness to continue the campaign for international recognition of the genocide. (By the way, no previous budget has ever had a special clause earmarking such expenditures).
“The international recognition of the Armenian genocide does not refer to Armenia or Armenians alone, it refers to the entire humanity and it cannot be placed within a budget or other financial calculations,” Gasparian said.
