/PanARMENIAN.Net/ Armenia's position in normalization of
Armenian-Turkish relations is clear: the Armenian side supports
establishment of diplomatic relations between the countries without
any preconditions, Edward Sharmazanov , spokesman for the Republican
Party of Armenia (RPA) told a press conference in Yerevan today.
According to him, the issue of the Armenian Genocide can not be
regarded as a precondition. The issue of Karabakh can not be tied with
the Armenian-Turkish relations as well. "Either in Armenia or Turkey,
normalization of the Armenian-Turkish relations has received various
reactions," Mr. Sharmazanov said. He also positively estimated that the
Armenian President organized public discussions with party leaders,
in National Security Council, the projected discussion on October 1
in the National Assembly.
"The position of political forces being always against introducing of
the Armenian Genocide issue in country's foreign policy agenda, and
speculating today over that issue, is not clear. Neither the Genocide,
nor the Karabakh issue should become a matter of speculation," Edward
Sharmazanov said. He also stressed that RA President and foreign
minister repeatedly stated that the issue of the Armenian Genocide
cannot become an issue of trade.
