    "We have tried to normalize our relations with the neighbor country
    with dignity as it befits the civilized world of the 21st century,"
    President Serzh Sargsyan declared in his speech at the annual meeting
    of the representatives of the central apparatus of the Ministry of
    Foreign Affairs and the heads of Armenia's diplomatic representations.

    Serzh Sargsyan reminded that the Republic of Armenia and the
    Republic of Turkey have agreed to start their internal political
    consultations on the two protocols - the "Protocol on the establishment
    of diplomatic relations" and the "Protocol on the development of
    bilateral relations." The two documents reflect the summary of the
    agreements reached so far.

    According to the President the protocols made public on the eve
    reflect three core realities.

    1. "I have stated on different occasions that our talks with Turkey
    and the agreements reached include no precondition connected with
    the peaceful settlement of the Nagorno Karabakh issue.

    2. As we were assuring, the historical issues between Armenia and
    Turkey will be discussed in the format of one of the sub-commissions
    of the intergovernmental commission, not a commission of historians.

    3. For the first time in the history of independent Armenia the
    signing of important international documents wil l be preceded by
    public discussions. These will provide an opportunity to listen to
    all opinions and approaches."

    The President noted that he attaches importance to the activeness of
    the diplomats on the issue.

    "You should be active during those public discussions both in Armenia
    and the Diaspora. You have to outline and clarify the provisions of
    the protocols.

    I expect active discussions in the Diaspora Armenian communities and
    international research centers," Serzh Sargsyan stated.
