RESPONSE FROM ARMENIA

CUMHURIYET- President Robert Kocharian of Armenia conditionally
backed Turkish Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdogan’s proposal to set
up a joint commission to investigate allegations of so-called
Armenian genocide. Kocharian said that the proposal would work only
if better relations were first established between Turkey and
Armenia. Earlier, Prime Minister Erdogan suggested opening up the
countries’ state archives for experts from both countries to resolve
the issue.
