Yusuf Halajoglu: â€œI receive proposals from Dashnaks to investigate genocide committed by Armenians in Turkeyâ€

He noted that Turkey-Armenia relations were changed. â€œWe should consider the issue from other point of view. I have received proposals from Dahsnaks to investigate the genocide committed by Armenians in Turkey. I assessed the issue: If Armenians are sincere, it will be known in short time. I will not believe in sincerity of Serzh Sargsyan, if Armenians recognize territorial integrity of Turkey, stop occupation of Nagorno Karabakhâ€, he said. Halajoglu explained the fact that Dashnaks were proposed $20mln to disclose archives in Boston.
â€œMy proposal causes anxiety of Dashnaks. Dashnaks did not think that we would be engaged in this issue seriously. Proposed money is not little. Dashnaks can be interested in the proposal. Sometimes they propose concrete projects. I told them that we should conduct discussions on several issues. Then we can decide what we may discussâ€, he said. Halajoglu added that the West also proposed such projects as well.
â€œYou know that Armeniaâ€™s main Diasporas locate in France and the US. We will see their â€œsincerityâ€. We approach to Sargsyanâ€™s proposal from this contextâ€, he said.
