YEREVAN, MAY 22, ARMENPRESS: "I consider Turkey still preserves
its great opportunity to convince the world community, why not the
Armenian citizens as well, that it is a modern state and is governed
by modern standards and principles of international law," during the
joint press conference with Croatian President Stjepan Mesic Armenian
President Serzh Sargsyan said.
Referring to the latest pessimistic assessments on regulation of
Armenian-Turkish relations S. Sargsyan noted that like he was not
encouraged with optimistic statements at the beginning, the same
way he is not displeased, disappointed with pessimistic assessments
now. According to him, it is still very early to make conclusions.
Nevertheless the Armenian President advised not to undergo the
speculation of other sides and media and not to attach the Karabakh
issue to the Armenian-Turkish negotiations.
"The Armenian-Turkish relations are entirely different relations; these
negotiations vary from those held between Armenia and Azerbaijan or
over the Nagorno Karabakh issue. I must say that regulation of most
difficult issues demand great efforts, demand a hard way to pass.
During overcoming of this most difficult way surely in Armenia as
well as in Turkey there will be optimists and pessimists who, being
unaware of the whole information, can emotionally express their joy
or displeasure, optimism or pessimism." Armenian President said.
