Yerevan /Mediamax/. Armenia's Permanent Representative to the UN,
Ambassador Zohrab Mnatsakanyan stated that ahead of the Armenian
Genocide Centennial Armenia stood ready to normalize relations with
Turkey without any preconditions, however Armenia's good will was
not duly appreciated by Turkey.
"Today's policy of denial supports future criminals. Challenging the
denial, I should say that millions of people, including in Turkey,
speak about it", said Zohrab Mnatsakanyan at the discussion on
international peace and security.
The Ambassador also highlighted the right to self-determination
enshrined by the UN Charter.
"This principle should be dominating and should be carried out. And
it's not a stipulation that it should conflict with or violate the
territorial integrity of any country - the recent referendum in
Scotland is a proof of it", he said.
Touching upon the NK conflict the Ambassador urged Azerbaijan to
withdraw its snipers.
"Establishing mutual trust, including the withdrawal of snipers and
investigation of ceasefire violations, is presently a priority",
said the Ambassador.
