/PanARMENIAN.Net/ Without the fulfillment of Turkey’s three fundamental
demands by Armenia any development of ties between the two states is
out of the question, head of the Turkish delegation to the PACE Murat
Mercan stated in Strasbourg. According to the Turkish parliamentarian
the conditions are as follows: settlement of the Nagorno Karabakh
conflict admissible for both parties; Armenia’s positive reply to
Turkey’s proposal on the Armenian Genocide issue; recognition of
the present borders with Turkey on the basis of the Kars agreement
of 1921 by Yerevan. “Without fulfillment of these conditions it’s no
sense speaking of normalization of the Armenian-Turkish relations,”
Merjan said emphasizing the opening of the Armenian-Turkish border also
depends on the proper fulfillment of the above mentioned conditions,
