Armenian PM Tigran Sargsyan said our country started talks with
Turkey to establish diplomatic relations without preconditions on
the initiative of President Serzh Sargsyan.
The initiative was supported by the EU, Russia and the U.S., he said
in an interview with Russia's Izvestiya daily, adding that Armenians
are trying "to control emotions on the 1915 Genocide."
"We were seriously pressed by the Diaspora. Armenians of Diaspora
opposed the talks and signing of the protocols, but our political
image, as a reliable partner, has improved considerably. Now the ball
is in Turkey's court. There are certain people in Turkey willing to
build civil society and recognize the Armenian Genocide which was
impossible to imagine 20 year ago," he said.
The Genocide affected each Armenian family, Premier added. "World
community must recognize the Armenian Genocide and those responsible
must show repentance," he resumed.
