ARMENIA SHOULD BE INITIAING SIDE IN RELATIONS WITH TURKEY, LARISA
ALAVERDIAN SAYS
YEREVAN, DECEMBER 22, NOYAN TAPAN. Armenia should be the initiating
side both in settlement of the Karabakh problem and in relations with
Turkey, the member of the RA National Assembly "Heritage" faction
Larisa Alaverdian stated at the December 21 press conference. In her
words, Armenia should frequently put forward such initiatives on
universal and regional problems that would interest the public of other
countries, including Turkey. Authors of such initiatives may be, in
particular, envoronmental, human rights and other NGOs.
She said that having joined various international structures, Armenia
has recognized the borders of the other members states of these
structures, and so in building relations with Turkey it is inccorect to
call in question the current borders of this country. At the same time,
she considered it wrong to forget and not to use Woodrow Wilson’s
version reagrding the border delimination of two countries in further
negotiations.
In the opinion of L. Alaverdian, the legal package of Armenian-Turkish
relations has no inner contradictions but the Armenian side does not
master the bases of this package at the state, political, diplomatic
and social levels.
