  • Armenia May Improve Ties With Turkey, If Agreements Observed

    ARMENIA MAY IMPROVE TIES WITH TURKEY, IF AGREEMENTS OBSERVED

    YEREVAN, April 27 (Itar-Tass) -- Armenia is ready to advance in
    the improvement of relations with Turkey, if Ankara observes the
    agreements reached between the countries, Armenian Foreign Minister
    Edward Nalbandian said on the republican public television. "We are
    ready to move forward, if Turkey turns in our partner again ready to
    advance without preconditions, improve relations and to fulfill the
    agreements," the minister noted. "It is Turkey to decide whether we
    will be new or old partners," Nalbandian noted.

    "We passed a certain way for improving the relations without
    preconditions. From our point of view and from that of the
    international community, this way is the only right one," the minister
    recalled. "If Turkey makes again statements worthy of trust, undertakes
    the deeds worthy of trust, there will be adequate steps on our side,"
    Nalbandian reaffirmed.

    The minister considers it unnecessary to enter again into the
    negotiations with Turkey. "Armenia will never participate in the
    process (of normalization with Turkey - Itar-Tass) for the sake of
    the process and in the negotiations for the sake of negotiations,"
    Nalbandian noted. "We launched this process, entered into the
    negotiations, initialed and then signed the protocols, which are
    pending ratification," the minister believes. But then "the process of
    improving Armenian-Turkish relations was deadlocked, but the deadlock
    was broken at the initiative of Armenian President Serzh Sargsyan,"
    the Armenian foreign minister pointed out.
