BRUSSELS, JUNE 5, ARMENPRESS: Football diplomacy proved Turkey is not
ready to normalize the realations with Armenia without preconditions.
To the Europen politicians' and analysts' questions , whether
Armenia is committed to its obligations over the protocols signed
in Switzerland,Tigran Sargsyan was quoted as saying " Mrs Clinton
statement was to the point; the ball is currently in Turk's court",
Armenpress correspondent informs from Brussels.
Turkey is striving to normalize its relations with the neighbours,
possessing serious political ambitions in the region. " But it also
means that Turkey should make efforts to have friendly relations with
its all neighbors. Fundamental question is as follows: on which basis
Turkey wants to normalize its relations with its neighbors. In the
case of Armenia our position in the last 20 years remained the same.
We are ready to settle the relations with Turkey, establish diplomatic
relations and open borders without preconditions" the head of the
Cabinet noted.
In Prime Minister's opinion the single solution is Turkey and its
neighbours establish relations based on the unified values. In this
regard PM Sargsyan assured Armenia is concerned to implement reforms
in the form of adopting European system of values in the lifestyle
of the society. " "This is the guarantee of security and cooperation
in our region "said the head of government.
Dwelling on the issue that Turkey considers its relations in the
context of the regional scale and not in the context of individual
countries, Tigran Sargsyan stated" In that case the sides should
have not signed the records in Switzerland. Long lasting negoations
were held with the participations of the mediators .These protocols
,receiving the positive remarks by USA, Russian and France co chairs,
were signed by Turkey. If Turkey has different platform, it should
not have signed the protocols".
The PM told in one hand Armenia is in the blockade by Turkey and
Azerbaijan, in the other hand international sanctions against Iran
impede the differsification of our country. " It means we spend
great resources for ensuring the security of our country and for
differsification of the economy. Reform means change of the tactics
of the people; which takes the country serious efforts, technical,
financial, intellectual abilities to be exerted .Unfortunately we use
those resources for other purposes. Turkey is well aware of it and
continues the blockade. They explain as though their friend Azerbaijan
will not understand the realations established by Turkey and Armenia.
"So geopolitical situation and domestic reforms of Armenia are
interrelated" PM Sargsyan underscored.
