ARFD hopes for Obama to utter word “genocide”

Should a war with Azerbaijan break out today, the Armenian side will surely win it, and this time the fruits of the victory will be more significant — Armenia will stop being a landlocked country, and Azerbaijan will lose its sovereignty, Chairman of RA NA Standing Committee on Defense, ARFD faction member Hrayr Karapetyan stated at a press conference.
“Let Azerbaijan not place hopes on its oil. It is known for certain that the world oil reserves will be exhausted within 42 years, and Azerbaijan’s reserves in 20 years,” he said. Karapetyan believes the resumption of hostilities in the Nagorno-Karabakh conflict zone is unlikely. The Armenian side has not so far been defeated in the Karabakh peace process, Karapetyan said.
“Any attempt to force the Armenian side to make unilateral concessions is doomed to failure. People will never accept this, and 1996 events will be repeated –a change of power will take place,” Karapetyan said. He also expressed content with the constantly increasing integration between Armenia and Nagorno-Karabakh.
Referring to the Armenian-Turkish relations and Armenian Genocide, Karapetyan voiced regret that the RA Government does not approve of the ARFD-initiated bill on criminal responsibility for denying the Armenian Genocide. “It is just a shame that our Government does not approve of the document, especially so as relevant laws were adopted by several foreign countries,” Karapetyan said. Speaking of the U.S. President’s annual address to the Armenians on April 24, he expressed hope that Obama will utter the word “genocide” on April 24.
