PanARMENIAN.Net - For 97 years, Turkey has been avoiding serious
steps to normalize ties with Armenia and face its history, Armenian
Foreign Minister said.
As Edward Nalbandian stated during a news conference with OSCE
Secretary General Lamberto Zannier, "if the Turkey continues with
this line of action for the next 3 years, suggesting useless steps,
the result is well-known."
The Foreign Minister further commented on recent remarks by his Turkish
counterpart. According to Ahmet Davutoglu's statement, on the threshold
of 100th anniversary of the Genocide, the official Ankara initiated
a 3-step plan, including work with Armenian Diaspora, development of
a new document and a new, subtler diplomacy with Armenia. However,
to make the plan possible, Armenia must "pull troops from a part of
Azeri territories," Davutoglu said.
"In contrast to Ankara suggestions, the international community is
suggesting another 3-step plan: ratification of Turkish-Armenian
Protocols without preconditions, the document implementation and
refusal from attempts to link rapprochement with Karabakh conflict
settlement or interfere with the issue," Armenian official said.
