He said enmity shouldnâ€™t take root in the public sense and shouldnâ€™t turn into dominant mind. â€œYou tell me that Diaspora makes big efforts for solution to the genocide issue, but such attitude is harmful for our people first. We need in large sense to find right decisions. Our main goal shouldnâ€™t be a confrontation with anyone, but improving welfare of our people. It doesnâ€™t mean that the government doesnâ€™t desire recognition of genocide. We have to develop our economy and to think about welfare of our citizens alongside with thatâ€. Responding the question about possibility of economic ties with the countries which have negative relations with Armenia, Sargsyan reminded about calls for inadmissibility of any relations with those countries. â€œThere are such people who donâ€™t wear Turkish jacket or donâ€™t use Turkish toothpaste. Of course we have to struggle for restoration of historic justice and our national dignity, but we canâ€™t do that with household meansâ€.
Recently Armenia has sent warm messages to Turkey and insinuates that it will not insist on international recognition of false â€œgenocideâ€, the fundamental problem between the two countries.
