“We have supported and continue to support reconciliation between Armenia and Turkey,” the Assembly said in a statement. It at the same time charged that the Turkish government “has breached and will continue to breach both the letter and the spirit of those documents.”
* Serzh Sargsyan and ANCA-ARF
The meeting covered issues connected with the preservation of the Armenian national identity, the Armenia-Diaspora relations and the role of the Diaspora structures in the strengthening of those relations.
The interlocutors also touched upon the current stage of normalization of the Armenian-turkish relations, President's Press Office reported.
The presidential press office said Sarkisian discussed “the current phase” of the Turkish-Armenian normalization process with top representatives of U.S. chapters of the Armenian Revolutionary Federation (Dashnaktsutyun) and the nationalist party's lobbying arm in the United States, the Armenian National Committee of America (ANCA).
A statement by the office gave no details of that discussion. It said the meeting also focused on Armenia's relations with its worldwide Diaspora and ways of strengthening it.
Among the participants of Monday's meeting with Sarkisian was Viken Hovsepian, a member of Dashnaktsutyun's worldwide governing Bureau. Speaking to the Boston-based newspaper “Armenian Weekly” before the meeting, Hovsepian urged the Armenian leader to “rescind his signature from the Turkey-Armenia protocols.”
Dashnaktsutyun and several Armenian-American community groups voiced the same demand in a joint letter to Sarkisian published ahead of his arrival in Washington. “We hope and expect … that while in Washington, you will announce that the process between Armenia and Turkey that has begun with these signed protocols cannot continue because of Turkey's unconstructive and antagonistic posture,” they said.
* Turkish PM and Obama
Prior to the meeting Turkish Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdogan told CNN he was confident that the U.S. president would not use the term genocide to describe the incidents of 1915.
"That would be my expectation, because to this day, no American leader has uttered that word, and I believe that President Obama will not," he said.
Erdogan said the time when the killings took place was a period of war and revolts, and pointed out that the Turkish people also suffered terrible losses during the 1914-18 conflict.
"No nation, no people has the right to impose the way it remembers history to another nation or people - and Turkey does not try to do that," he added.
