  • Kocharyan: Recognition of own history by Turkey will be difficult

    ROBERT KOCHARYAN: RECOGNITION OF OWN HISTORY BY TURKEY WILL BE A
    DIFFICULT WAY TO PASS


    "The readiness to normalize relations with the neighbors that Turkey
    will express will influence also Armenian-Turkish relations."
    President of Armenia Robert Kocharyan made this statement in Nicosia,
    Thursday, commenting on the fact that Turkey must revise its position
    regarding Cyprus. Afterwards, EU will express its position on the
    continuation of the talks for Turkey's membership of the EU.

    Asked about Armenia's position on Turkey's admission to the EU in
    conditions when Turkey denies the Armenian Genocide, Robert Kocharyan
    said peoples must recognize their own history. "We hope that the
    membership process will create a new situation due to reforms when
    the discussions on this issue in Turkey will be more open. This will
    allow the Turkish public to voice the question. We understand that it
    will be a difficult way to pass. Nevertheless, we hope that the
    Turkish people will pass it itself and that the international
    community and the recognition of the Armenian Genocide by other
    countries will help the Turkish people pass this way," Robert
    Kocharyan said.
