YEREVAN, APRIL 6, NOYAN TAPAN. The normalization of Armenian-Turkish
relations is not connected with the Nagorno Karabakh settlement, and
that issue has never been a subject of discussion in negotiations
aimed at normalizing the Armenian-Turkish relations. RA Foreign
Minister Edward Nalbandian stated in response to Interfax agency's
question. He also said that normalization of Armenian-Turkish relations
cannot question the fact of Armenian Genocide.
"I think statements on putting forward preconditions for normalization
of Armenian-Turkish relations can be considered an attempt of failing
the progress recorded in the negotiations," Edward Nalbandian said
commenting upon Turkish officials' statements, according to which,
the normalization of Armenian-Turkish relations, in particular, is
conditioned by the Nagorno Karabakh settlement and the process of
international recognition of Armenian Genocide.
