/PanARMENIAN.Net/ Armenia positively assesses the outcomes of the
European Parliament vote on the issue of Turkey’s recognition of the
Armenian Genocide, RA Foreign Minister Vartan Oskanian said in Yerevan
today. In his words, the withdrawal of the precondition does not
reflect the general tendency on the issue among the EU member states.
"The decision of the European Parliament is a serious political
document. It’s important not only for Turkey but also for any
other state. As a matter of fact Turkey is obliged to acknowledge
the Armenian Genocide and open the Armenian-Turkish border. The
political consequences of this decision are positive for Armenia,"
the RA FM said.
