    Armenia should not give in to Turkish demands, says ARF Bureau
    representative

    23.05.2005 17:06

    YEREVAN (YERKIR) - In an interview posted on the Yerkir's website,
    Armenian Revolutionary Federation (ARF) Bureau representative Hrant
    Margarian answered a question regarding ARF's keenness to establish
    normal relations with Turkey.

    "It is not the ARF but Armenia that is to have normal relations with
    Turkey. It is the hostile position of the Turkish government toward
    Armenia that obstructs the normalization of the Armenian-Turkish
    relations; since Armenia's independence, Turkey has refused to
    establish diplomatic relations with Armenia. Moreover, it has been
    keeping Armenia in blockade since 1993. The ARF disagrees that Armenia
    should give in to the Turkish preconditions to establish relations
    with that country.

    The process of establishing "normal relations" between the two
    countries would not succeed unless Turkey recognizes its
    responsibility for the Armenian Genocide."
