Aram I: ‘Mr. Erdogan, do not try to pit the Diaspora against Armenia, we are one nation with one demand!’

Catholicos of the Great House of Cilicia Aram I gave a strong response to the statements of Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan.

“Mr. Erdogan, do not try to pit the Diaspora against Armenia, we are one nation with one demand!” the Catholicos said.

Earlier, Erdogan urged Armenians to “put aside baseless memories” and “act on the realities of the time”.

“A new order is now being formed in the region. It is time to put aside baseless memories, it is better to act on the realities of the time. Pashinyan understands this too. Now it is the time to create new roadmaps. I hope that Armenia will be freed from the darkness the Diaspora has dragged it into and choose the path of new beginnings for a bright future,” he said.
