Robert Kocharyan: Recognition of historical injustice cannot do harm
to US-Turkey relations
11.10.2007 16:03

RA President Robert Kocharyan positively assesses the adoption of the
Armenian Genocide Resolution in the Foreign Affairs Committee of the
US House of Representatives.

`Recognition of historical injustice cannot do harm to the bilateral
relations between the United States and Turkey,’ declared President
Kocharyan, who is in Belgium for a working visit. Regardless of the
tension after the recognition of the Armenian Genocide by France,
only a year after that the commodity turnover between Turkey and
France increased half as much.

As for the statements on reconciliation between Armenia and Turkey,
the President considers the simplest formula would be the launch of
dialogue without any preconditions.
