Turkey's present policy of normalizing relations with Armenia inspires
no optimism, RA President Serzh Sargsyan told a press conference after
his talks with German Chancellor Angela Merkel in Berlin, this Tuesday.
"There are no Armenian-Turkish relations, and, unfortunately, this
new way inspires no optimism. In 2008 we initiated a reconciliation
process with Turkey, realizing that the relations might be established
provided that political will was displayed," the President said.
According to him, Turkey lacked political will. "We saw the Turkish
Parliament did not ratify the Armenian-Turkish Protocols. So we
suspended the ratification process," Serzh Sargsyan stated.
He also pointed out that Turkey's present policy does not contribute
to the bilateral normalization.
