An intellectual generation is growing in Turkey today, and this crème de la crème of society will eventually become strong enough to make their government to speak the truth: Serzh Sargsyan

“The Centenary of the Armenian Genocide showed that Armenian-Turkish reconciliation is not a top-down exercise,” S.Sargsyan said during his lecture at the Kennedy School of Governance of the Harvard University.

RA President stressed the more aggressive the stance of the Turkish authorities, the louder the voice of the Turkish society about the Armenian Genocide,

“An intellectual generation is growing in Turkey today, and this crème de la crème of society will eventually become strong enough to make their government to speak the truth. I am sure that the day will come.
We are strongly interested in Turkey’s peaceful and democratic development. It is our belief that fundamental democratization is the only way in which all the peoples living in Turkey will feel as fully-fledged citizens and will be able to lead a dignified life. Ethnic and religious minorities will not be taken as second- or third-class. Unfortunately, we are witnessing the opposite trends in public and political life in some of our neighboring countries, which is worrisome,” Serzh Sargsyan said.
