“When State Department spokesman Philip Crowley welcomed RA President’s move, it meant they supported Armenia’s adherence to the reconciliation process, grating their teeth. Yerevan was hinted that they applaud Armenia’s decision not to end the process, but if we think that only Turkey will be punished we are wrong. Obama will not say it,” he added.

Commenting on the fact that Obama broke his pledge for the second time, Safaryan noted: "In fact official Yerevan’s moves donated three years to U.S. and Turkey. Turkey achieved its goal – at least the process is frozen. U.S. managed to prevent from reverse in Armenia-Turkey reconciliation. Serzh Sargsyan’s move excited unstinted admiration of certain people. Thus, all insignificant problems were solved, but as a result international recognition of Genocide was harmed. “Let no one consider it his victory. It was just a failure, as Armenian authorities let the world not to recognize Genocide,” he concluded.
