    NO PRECONDITIONS FOR NORMALIZATION OF YEREVAN-ANKARA TIES - SERZH SARGSYAN

    WASHINGTON, April 13 (Itar-Tass) - There must be no preconditions in
    the process of normalization of relations between Yerevan and Ankara,
    Armenian President Serzh Sargsyan said on Monday.

    He met on Monday for talks with Turkish Prime Minister Tayyip Erdogan
    within the framework of the international nuclear summit.

    "Our position remains clear. Turkey cannot speak the language of
    preliminary conditions," he stressed at a meeting later on Monday with
    representatives of the Armenian diaspora in the USA. At the same time
    he pledged that Armenia would keep making steps towards normalization
    of ties with Turkey.

    Focusing on the settlement of the conflict around mostly Armenian
    populated Azerbaijani enclave of Nagorno Karabakh, the president
    said that problem was not linked with normalization of ties between
    Yerevan and Ankara.

    He added that his country believed Turkey must not make attempts to
    join the international mediation in the settlement of the Nagorno
    Karabakh conflict. The OSCE Minsk Group, where Russia, the USA and
    France hold the chairmanship, makes efforts in that direction.

    A statement of White House's press service circulated after talks
    between Sargsyan and U.S. President Barack Obama, noted that the
    American leader gave high marks to efforts of his Armenian counterpart
    towards normalization of ties with Turkey.
