Tan has said assessment of Armenian head of state Robert Kocharyan's
reply letter had been continuing and Armenia's "positive statements
and gestures would affect" this assessment.
Tan told weekly press conference that result of the assessment would
be publicly announced, adding: "However, it is clear that future
positive statements and gestures would affect this assessment."
Tan recalled that a newspaper had claimed that relations between
Turkey and Armenia would be suspended, stressing: "However, it is
out of question because there are not any relations between the
two countries."
Turkish Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdogan proposed establishment
of a joint delegation of Turkish and Armenian historians to deal with
the events of 1915.
President Kocharyan responded the proposal saying that the commission
should have an intergovernmental status.
