Turkey's bid for joining the European Union should not be on the Agenda
of Armenian foreign policy; it is between Europe and Turkey, Artsvik
Minasian, a member of the ARF faction in parliament, has told news.am.
He said Armenia has its own issues with Turkey - recognition of
the Armenian genocide and territorial issues. Armenia should deal
with those issues by using international institutions and without
aggressiveness.
"Aggressiveness should be applied by the Turkish public on their own
authorities. Our task is to prepare that public and present the truth
to them," he added.
Minasian said that after April 22, Turkey has made its own right
to open the border with Armenia. The sooner the Armenian leadership
realizes this and stops negotiating with Turkey the better.
