“I would have never referred to the ‘banning’ bill passed by the French parliament, if I wasn’t astonished once again by the groundless joy of my compatriots”, said Alexander Kananyan, a member of the Armenian Choice movement.
In our interlocutor’s opinion, France has passed that bill exceptionally for her own interest, “Yes, recognition of the genocide by various countries or such laws can be a strategic weapon by the Armenian diplomacy, but there is no such thing today. There is no goal either, the restoration of Armenia’s territorial integrity and the reunion of the Armenians in the motherland, on the road to which we will be compelled ‘to transfer somewhere’ millions of Turks and Kurds. Let me say another truism, every family emigrating to Armenia, everyone settling down on the freed territory means considerably or immeasurably more than the recognition of genocide by all countries combined. Last night a baby was born in Karvachar – it is a more serious event”, thinks Alexander Kananyan.
