YEREVAN, JANUARY 30, ARMENPRESS. Vigen Sargsyan, the Head of Staff of the President of the Republic of Armenia, finds that the Pan-Armenian Declaration on the Centennial of the Armenian Genocide is the expression of unity of Armenia and Diaspora. The Coordinator of the events dedicated to the 100th anniversary of the Armenian Genocide Vigen Sargsyan stated this at the course of the press conference held on January 30.

As reports “Armenpress”, among other things Vigen Sargsyan underscored: “This is the first document adopted by the state commission, which includes the standpoint of all the central structures of Diaspora. The fact of adoption of the declaration, particularly on such a subtle issue, is a great phenomenon in itself and it’s a response to all those, who claim that Armenians in Diaspora and Armenians in Armenia have different desires. This proves the unity of the Armenian people on the threshold of the 100th anniversary.”
