Armenia
Yerevan, 2 September: Historical experience and memory should be
taken into account before establishing good-neighbourly relations
with a neighbour, the New Times party has said in a press release.
"[Armenian President] Serzh Sargsyan considers himself Robert
Kocharyan's successor, but Kocharyan had a very tough position towards
Turkey because of the international recognition of the 1915 Armenian
genocide. We believe that Serzh Sargsyan as well as the [ruling]
coalition parties realize the hopelessness of Armenian-Turkish
relations as you encounter more problems in this arena with every
step than any progress is reached," the party's statement says.
