/PanARMENIAN.Net/ Armenia has brought closer Armenian-Turkish
rapprochement, President Serzh Sargsyan said today in his opening
speech delivered at the annual meeting between MFA central staff and
Heads of Armenian diplomatic missions abroad.
"As you are aware, we yesterday promulgated a statement on
normalization of Armenian-Turkish ties, as well as two coordinated
documents- Protocols on 'Establishing Diplomatic Ties Between Two
Countries' and 'Developing Bilateral Relations'. Documents fully
reflect the agreements achieved so far. Armenia brought closer
Armenian-Turkish rapprochement, increasing international community's
awareness and obligations," President noted, adding that Yerevan
resorted to decent methods to normalize ties with neighbors.
"Promulgated projects reflect several realities i.e. agreements
achieved do not contain any preconditions regarding Karabakh conflict
settlement. Besides, as we already confirmed, historical issues
between Armenia and Turkey will be considered by a sub-committee
of an interstate commission vs. a committee of historians," RA
President stated, noting that this is the first time in the history
of independent Armenia when signature of an important international
document is preceded by public discussions.
"To me, general activeness is very important. Everybody is required
to assume an active role during public discussions in Armenia and
Diaspora. We must clarify and submit Protocol clauses with all their
positive and negative components," President stated.
