We are not vindictive, but we have good memory


The co-chairs of the Stability group (Kayunutyun) Sargis Harutyunyan, Ernest Baloyants and Arshaluys Aghayan today met the journalists.

Arshaluys Aghayan, one of the co-chairs being an emigrant from Iran presented the viewpoint of the Iranian Armenians about the last developments of the Armenian Turkish relations.

The Iranian Armenians are for the opening the boarders, - said Arshaluys Aghayan and added that deep in his soul and in the genes of his community there is the feeling of yearning towards its country, and emotions are more than the logic.

The speaker reminded about the role of Iran especially in 1990 when it supported Armenia.
During that hard times, when the ways were closed from all the sides, Iran, during the process of formation of independence, was helping Armenia, - mentioned Arshaluys Aghayan and told that at that time the continental connections between Armenia and Iran were being realized through a temporary bridge which was made of empty containers which were knitted one to another by cords.

The speaker realizes that there are extremists in Armenia there are also such people who woud not like to see the boarder open.

But the policy of the 21st century requires a new approach, - said A. Aghayan.

Sargis Harutyunyan, the other co-chair of the Satbility party, mentioned that by the Armenian Turkish records We and Turkey do not establish brotherhoodlike relations. Even after 100 years such relations cant exist.

We dont become a brother country to Turkey, we simply want to have friendly relations in the region, - said S. harutyunyan and added that the open boarders are important for trade in any country and this is a way to bring more dividends to Armenia.

We are not vindictive, but we have good memory, - mentioned Sargis Harutyunyan.
