The recognition of the Armenian Genocide should become the cornerstone of Armenia’s foreign policy, political analyst Haykazun Alvrtsyan told reporters in Yerevan. 

“The world does not clearly understand what we want. On the one hand, we talk about the necessity of Genocide recognition and carry out lobbying, on the other hand, we agree with Turkey to discuss the Genocide issue with specialists. It means this issue is not yet understood in Armenia,” the expert said.

However desirable is the recognition of the Armenian Genocide by world powers, nevertheless, this issue should be resolved in Turkey, and the Turkish people are well aware of the Genocide, Mr Alvertsyan said.

Haykazun Alvrtsyan mentioned the necessity of cooperation with Turkish intellectuals, establishment of contacts with Armenians living in Turkey and discussion of the issues they are interested in.
