normalization of relations with Turkey and other neighbors, Armenian
National Assembly Speaker Artur Baghdasarian stated during a press

normal partner relationships. As for the Armenian Genocide of 1915, all the
discussions are completed and in my opinion there is no need for additional
consideration', he noted. According to Artur Baghdasarian all should condemn
this crime against humanity. Parliaments of many states have already
condemned the Genocide and `we consider that Turkey must acknowledge the
fact of Genocide what should not impede the development of the
Armenian-Turkish relations.' Artur Baghdasarian reminded that to date
Armenia experiences the blockade imposed by Turkey and added that a country

decisions', the RA NA Speaker said. To remind, Artur Baghdasarian is in
