/PanARMENIAN.Net/ We repeatedly stated that Armenia speaks for
normalization of Armenian-Turkish ties without preconditions, RA
President Serzh Sargsyan told a news conference in Yerevan.
"Though difficult, the process of negotiations with Ankara is going on.
I see nothing strange that Ankara might be willing to change its
viewpoint. Still, I believe opening of border will serve the interests
of Turkey.
Some are concerned that Armenian market will be flooded with Turkish
goods upon opening of border. Yet, goods are still being imported in
Armenia through Georgia.
Fear of competition might bring us to the wrong inference that all
the borders to Armenia should be closed, so local manufacturers could
avoid competition. The inference is fundamentally wrong.
Turkey sets a number of preconditions including abandoning demands for
in international recognition of the Armenian genocide and NKR conflict
settlement on Azerbaijan-stipulated terms. This is what we'll never
sacrifice for normalization of ties. Both Turkey and Azerbaijan are
aware of it," RA president stated.
Turkey closed the border with Armenian in 1993, in support to Azeri's
aggression against Nagorno Karabakh.
