Yerevan/Mediamax/. Armenian President Serzh Sargsyan said today that
the only obstacle for the establishment of the relations between
Armenia and Turkey rest with Ankara and Baku.
Serzh Sargsyan said this speaking today at the Republican Party of
Armenia Convention.
`Our initiative on the normalization of the relations between Armenia
and Turkey which from the outset had two ways to progress. It is true
that the initiative didn't develop in the way desirable for Armenia
and the international community; the Armenian-Turkish border still
remains closed. However, the second way which the initiative went on
was also important, because
First, as recent developments have clearly shown, it has solidified
the process of the international recognition of the Armenian Genocide;
Second, the entire world came to see that the only obstacle for the
establishment of the relations between Armenia and Turkey rest with
Ankara and another capital, which acts as a busy-body, but in no way
or shape with Yerevan;
And third, that Turkey was compelled by that initiative to sign an
international document, which rules out any precondition for the
establishment of the relations', Armenian leader said.
