RA Foreign Minister Edward Nalbandyan has come out strongly against any talk of a “historical commission” to study the events of 1915.

In a recent interview with the Dutch “De Volkskrant” daily, Nalbandyan is reported to have said that, “Armenia’s government has declared on many occasions that the fact of the Armenian Genocide and the importance of its recognition and condemnation have never been and will never be questioned.”

Nalbandyan described Turkish statements on establishing such a commission as “a continuation of a dangerous denial policy” in an attempt to question the fact of recognition of the Genocide by France and many others.

The Armenian Foreign Minister noted that French President Sarkozy, during his recent visit to Armenia, made his position on the 1915 Genocide quite clear.
