“I do not believe that the President of Armenia Serzh Sargsyan called Washington to ask the White House not pay attention to the issue of the Armenian Genocide in Ottoman Turkey, as it was stated in the Youtube video”,  the leader of ARF faction Vahan Hovhannisyan said at a briefing at in RA National Assembly.

“On the contrary, I know that there was another call, in another context. That is, I know that Serzh Sargsyan called Washington to focus more attention on the Armenian Genocide in Ottoman Turkey. I doubt that Serzh Sargsyan would call Washington twice with two conflicting requests”, - said Hovannisian.

As NEWS.am reported previously, according to the Youtube video, Vice-President Joe Biden, responding to the Armenian community representative’s question of Washington’s position on the Armenian Genocide, said that the President of Armenia Serzh Sargsyan called him and asked not to focus on Armenian Genocide until the Karabakh issue is resolved. The President’s press secretary Armen Arzumanyan denied this information as well.
