The illegal blockade of Armenia needs to end, Armenian President
Serzh Sargsyan said at a PACE session on Monday, commenting
onArmenian-Turkish relations, News Armenia reports.
Normalization of relations started two years ago. It could
allowrestoration of diplomatic ties and an opening of the border.
Sargsyan noted that support of mediators and high-ranking officials
ofthe Council of Europe is important. But the process hit a dead end.
Turkey started making pre-conditions again and refuses to fulfil
itsobligations. Another problem is the refusal of Turkey to recognize
thegenocide of the Armenian population by the Ottoman Empire in 1915,
hesaid.
The president underlined that they will not leave the problem forfuture
generations. He believes that the barriers will be removed theway
the Berlin Wall was.
