ArmInfo. Armenia does not put forward preliminary conditions for
normalization of relations with Turkey. On the contrary, just Ankara
puts forward conditions to establish relations with Yerevan, Armenian
Deputy Foreign Minister Gegam Garibjanyan said over the meeting with
students of Yerevan State University.

He also recalled that it is already for several years that Armenian
leaders have been sending messages to the Turkish authorities to
normalize relations without any preliminary conditions. But Turkey
replies putting forward different pre-conditions the purpose of
which is to forget the Armenian genocide. ‘Not only we, but the whole
civilized world as well understands immorality of the attempts "to
forget" the Armenian genocide, especially that many countries have
already officially recognized the genocide’, – Gegam Garibjanyan
emphasized.
