YEREVAN

Yearly trade between Armenia and Turkey is 50-60m dollars, in spite of
the absence of diplomatic relations between the two countries and the
closed border, Armenian Foreign Minister Vardan Oskanyan said in
Yerevan today.

Thus “Armenian-Turkish relations today have a rather unusual
character”, the minister said, according to Mediamax news agency.

The issue of recognition of the Armenian genocide in 1915 is a
component part of Armenian-Turkish relations, however Yerevan does not
consider it a prior condition for normalization, said Vardan Oskanyan
