The press secretary of the Armenian Foreign Ministry, Gamlet
Gasparyan, said in Yerevan today that "Armenian archives have been
open to all countries and researchers of any nationality for a long
time".
The Armenian Foreign Ministry spokesman said this while commenting on
Turkish Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdogan's statement that Armenia
did not follow Turkey's example and failed to open its archives,
Mediamax reports.
"If there is a genuine desire to normalize relations and the courage
to take such a step, then all different pretexts are unnecessary. As
far as our archives are concerned, they have been open to all
countries and researchers of any nationality for a long time. Many
scientists have already used them, but there wasn't a single Turk
among them. If they wish, they may come and see.
"I would like to repeat that reality has been obvious for a long time,
so let's put propaganda aside, sit down and talk frankly," the
Armenian Foreign Ministry spokesman said.
