Second Armenia adopted the recognition of the Armenian Genocide after the 2nd President Mr Kocharian came to power after 1998. Now in it's external affairs agenda, recognition is number one. This came after a big struggle by the Diaspora and Tashnag party that is the only party that has presence in Diaspora and in Armenia.
Just for the record before 1998 (1991-1998) Armenians of Diaspora did criticize the state in Armenia for not caring about the recognition of the Armenian Genocide...
