    Bako Sahakyan: No improvement in Armenian-Turkish relations in immediate future

    12:47 / 03/13/2010The Nagorno-Karabakh Republic (NKR) will welcome
    Armenian-Turkish reconciliation only if Turkey's behavior is in
    conformity with panhuman values, and the issues are settled in the
    context of the nations' past, NKR President Bako Sahakyan stated at
    his meeting with students and lecturers of Artsakh State University.

    The NKR President expressed the confidence that `Turkey continues its
    insincere policy.'

    According to him, Ankara did not properly respond to the goodwill
    shown by Armenia. So any improvement in the Armenian-Turkish relations
    cannot be expected in the immediate future. Turkey's reaction to the
    recognition of the Armenian Genocide by the Swedish Parliament is
    evidence thereof.

    `We are dealing with a nation unable to get rid of its own complexes,'
    Sahakyan said.

    He stressed that Turkish progressive forces stated the need for
    admitting the Armenian Genocide long ago, but `the point is that
    Armenia took the initiative without any preconditions.'

    `From the very beginning Turkey stated it would establish diplomatic
    relations with Armenia only if the Armenian side made concessions on
    Nagorno-Karabakh, etc.. Under the circumstances any improvement in
    relations with Turkey is impossible in the immediate future,' the NKR
    leader said.
