/PanARMENIAN.Net/ "Turkey is not respecting its trade commitments
with the EU, including establishment of relations with Armenia,"
RA Prime Minister Serge Sargsyan said in an interview with European
Voice ahead of his trip to Brussels on 11 December.

As to the Nagorno Karabakh conflict settlement, Mr Sargsyan said, "I’m
certain that there is still a good chance for us to settle the Nagorno
Karabakh issue diplomatically. We are and always will be neighbors.

We cannot remain enemies forever."

Turkey’s refusal to acknowledge that the Ottoman Empire committed
genocide against its Armenian citizens during the First World War
has prevented normalization of relations between Turkey and Armenia,
and their border remains closed, the European Voice reminded.

The International Crisis Group mentioned in its latest report Nagorno
Karabakh Risking War that Azerbaijan may use its oil income for
resuming hostilities.
