The Conservative Party of Armenia protests against the Russian President's plans to visit Armenia on Dec 2 - the day when the Treaty of Alexandropol was signed, SIA reports quoting Armenian News Agency.
"Dec 2 is a tragic and humiliating page in our history, and the refusal to change the date of the visit will be a move against the Armenian people and statehood," the party says.
The Treaty of Alexandropol was signed in Alexandropol (present-day Gyumri) on Dec 2 1920 by the Kemalists, who were not yet a recognized regime in Turkey, and the government of the First Republic, who de facto were no longer in power in Armenia. The government of the Armenian SSR refused to recognize the treaty.
Quite recently President of the Union of Armenians of Russia Ara Abrahamyan said that President Putin might visit Armenia on Dec 2.
When asked by ArmInfo for a comment, the press service of the Kremlin said they had no such information.
