The response of Shavarsh Kocharyan, Deputy Foreign Affairs Minister to the question of News.am

27 July, 2011

Question: Mr Kocharyan, how would you comment the criticism of the Turkish Foreign Affairs Ministry about the answer of the President of Armenia to the question by one of the disapora Armenian young participants during a meeting in the 5th Pan-Armenian Olympiad in Tsakhkadzor?

Answer: You know, I have the impression that the Turks have simply not read the complete answer to the question or that they are just unanimously voicing what they wish to voice, by clinging to separate sections of the address. Actually the answer of the President of Armenia to such a question was serious, comprehensive and quite measured, which, if not perceived in Turkey, then they simply do not need it. In any case, the hysteria made is not only artificial, but should also lead many to conclusions.
