The borders reopening has nothing to do with their recognition

“The opinion that non-recognition of borders has something in common with the diplomatic relations is a big mistake. The border reopening has nothing to do with diplomatic ties, on the one hand, and with the recognition of borders, on the other,” said ARF leader, Vahan Hovhannisyan to journalists.

In evidence Mr. Hovhannisyan listed a number of countries who have “disputed issues in borders, but don’t even have a single world about them in documents establishing bilateral ties.”

He marked that the establishment of diplomatic relations is under the Vienna Convention on Diplomatic Relations which hasn’t a single world about recognition of mutual borders or territorial integrity.”

“Diplomatic relations call for recognition of each other as states, and one recognizes borders regarding to a special agreement,” explained Mr. Hovhannisyan

According to ARF leader the borders reopening which “we fully support” raises some questions. He noted that Turkey’s economic legislation “protects Turkish producers and entrepreneurs perfectly, and that of ours does not, so we have a large work to do in this field.”

What for hunger strike and sit-down protest organized byARF, then, according to Mr. Hovhannisyan, those are right actions because of their features of demonstration effect and their importance for civilized pressure.”

He again stated that ARF doesn’t raise question of resignation of Armenia’s President but noted that “the protest and pressure on authorities will grow proportionally with authority’s mistakes.”

March 18, 2010

In commemoration of the 125th anniversary of Shahan Natalie’s birth, the Shahan Natalie Family Foundation invites the public to attend a tribute to the living memory of the internationally known intrepid Armenian thinker, writer, orator, and activist.

The event will take place on Saturday, April 10, 2010, in the Los Angeles Public Library’s Mark Taper Auditorium. Preceding the afternoon program, Sylva Natalie Manoogian will lead a Hye (Armenian) Treasures tour of the Central Library’s resources, Asbarez.com reported.

Born in the village of Husenik, province of Kharberd, Historic Armenia, Shahan Natalie (born Hagop Der Hagopian) was orphaned at the age of 11, during the 1895 Hamidian massacres of the Armenians. He was sent to Istanbul and was accepted by the famed Berberian Academy, where his literary career and community activism were launched.

British Justice Minister Tells Erdogan the Armenian Genocide Bill Will Not Pass

March 17, 2010

British Justice Minister Jack Straw on Tuesday assured Turkey’s Prime Minister that Parliament would not pass a resolution recognizing the Ottoman-era killings of Armenians as genocide, CNNTürk reported.

“The chance of this becoming law is zero. I can assure everyone on this issue, Straw said.

After the Swedish parliament adopted an Armenian genocide resolution last week, many have turned their attention to the British Parliament, where a draft will be submitted to a House of Commons committee after a second reading on April 30.

If it is approved, an Armenian Genocide Remembrance Day will be established in the country.

“The English government and the opposition do not support this draft,” Straw said.

Davutoglu Speaks Out Against Deporting Armenians Living in Turkey Without Status

March 16, 2010

To deport citizens of Armenia living illegally in Turkey means to give a “winning card” to those countries who come out against Turkey, said Turkish Minister of Foreign Affairs Ahmet Davutoglu during a closed-door meeting of the foreign affairs committee of Turkey’s Grand National Assembly, responding to opposition People’s Republican Party MP Canan Arıtman’s earlier statements which suggested deporting all Armenian citizens.

“Such a step would become a winning card in the hands of those countries who are against us. In addition, all of the world’s countries’ papers will publish articles about deported Armenians. A nationalist image would form, [and] Turkey will be in a more difficult situation,” said Davutoglu.
