    Goran Lennmarker: Turkey should have courage to recognize Armenian Genocide
    06.09.2008 14:42 GMT+04:00

    /PanARMENIAN.Net/ Turkey should have the courage to face its past and
    acknowledge the Armenian Genocide, said Goran Lennmarker, OSCE PA
    special representative for Nagorno Karabakh.

    `Turkey will join the European Union when it meets norms of
    the organization. Today, Armenia has a historical opportunity to help
    Turkey that is being transformed into a European state,' Mr
    Lennmarker said at a meeting with RA NA chairman Tigran Torosian.

    Stressing the importance of establishment of Armenian-Turkish
    relations, he said the first move should become opening of the border,
    what will help Turkey to assert itself as a true European country.

    For his part, Mr Torosian reiterated Armenia's readiness to
    normalize relations without preconditions. `The countries
    of the region should be interested in cooperation and
    peace,' he said, the RA NA press office reported.
