    RAFIK PETROSYAN: THE AUTHORITIES WILL NOT YIELD

    The Armenian opposition is worried that Turkey may connect the
    normalization of the Armenian-Turkish relations and the opening of
    the border with the Karabakh issue.

    Member of the Republican Party Board Rafik Petrosyan stated today
    that their party and the authorities would do their best to reach
    establishment of relations with Turkey without preconditions.

    "We should say that so far Armenia has not lost on any question,
    as the opposition insists. The President of Armenia has raised the
    question with great dignity and one cannot see Armenia's weakness
    anywhere. On the contrary, the President has declared very clearly
    that Armenia will not continue the development of relations unless
    Turkey starts a real process of normalization," Rafik Petrosyan.

    "The normalization of the Armenian-Turkish relations and the opening of
    the border will equally benefit Armenia, Turkey and the international
    community," he said.

    According to the MP, it would no be correct to say that the process
    of normalization of the Armenian-Turkish relations will not affect
    the genocide issue. "However, Armenia will continue pursuing the
    international recognition of the Armenian Genocide," he assured.

    "The authorities are confident of the correctness of their steps and
    they are not going to yield," Rafik Petrosyan concluded.
