/PanARMENIAN.Net/ Normalization of the Armenian-Turkish relations is
important., Aziz Tamoyan , the chairman of the World National Union
of Yezidis told a news conference in Yerevan today. "Normalization
of relations plays an important role, but I am much more concerned
with the political situation in Armenia created after the Protocols
on normalization of Armenian-Turkish relations have been publisized,"
Aziz Tamoyan said, calling on all political forces in Armenia to reach
a consensus over the protocols and do not aggravate the situation in
the country.
Although being not familiar with the protocols, Aziz Tamoyan
however stressed that Armenia should never give up the struggle for
international recognition of the Armenian Genocide. According to Aziz
Tamoyan , Armenia must not recognize the territorial integrity of
Turkey, since the Western Armenia is the homeland of Armenians. "I
am advocating for open border with Turkey, but this should happen
without any preconditions. In this respect, I am very concerned about
the statements made by the Turkish Prime Minister that the border
will open only after Armenian forces leave Karabakh. Both Armenians
and Turks must benefit from opening of the Armenian-Turkish border,
" he concluded.
