/PanARMENIAN.Net/ Turkey should have the courage to face its past and
acknowledge the Armenian Genocide, said Goran Lennmarker, OSCE PA
special representative for Nagorno Karabakh.
`Turkey will join the European Union when it meets norms of
the organization. Today, Armenia has a historical opportunity to help
Turkey that is being transformed into a European state,' Mr
Lennmarker said at a meeting with RA NA chairman Tigran Torosian.
Stressing the importance of establishment of Armenian-Turkish
relations, he said the first move should become opening of the border,
what will help Turkey to assert itself as a true European country.
For his part, Mr Torosian reiterated Armenia's readiness to
normalize relations without preconditions. `The countries
of the region should be interested in cooperation and
peace,' he said, the RA NA press office reported.
