"The normalisation of Armenian-Turkish relations should have no
preconditions and it is with this mutual understanding that we have
been negotiating with the Turkish side," said Armenia's Foreign
Minister Edward Nalbandian in reply to the recent statements of some
Turkish officials.
According to the Turkish officials, the normalisation of
Armenian-Turkish relations is conditioned by other issues like the
resolution of Nagorno Karabakh problem and the process of international
recognition of the Armenian Genocide.
Normalisation of the relations has no linkage to the resolution of the
Nagorno Karabakh problem and has never been a subject of negotiations
towards the normalisation of Armenian - Turkish relations.
It has been said many times, and I want to stress it again, that the
normalisation of Armenian-Turkish relations can never question the
reality of Armenian Genocide.
Today, dozens of states and international organizations have recognized
the Armenian Genocide, which Armenia has welcomed.
Remind that Edward Nalbandian will visit Istanbul on April 6-7 to
participate in the 2nd "Alliance of Civilsations" forum under the
auspices of the UNO. The forum aims to develop the intercultural
understanding and cooperation.
