/PanARMENIAN.Net/ Closed borders and absence of diplomatic ties prove
that relations between Armenia and Turkey remain wretched, said Gegham
Khalatyan, Vice President of the Union of Armenians of Russia.

"The Presidents’ statements on normalization of relations are just
declarative and do not inspire optimism," he said.

"It’s well known that Armenia reiterates readiness to normalize
relations without preconditions, while Turkey goes on stipulating
conditions, including resolution of the Karabakh conflict in favor
Azerbaijan and change of policy of calling for worldwide recognition
of the Armenian Genocide, a crime which has been already condemned
by 20 countries throughout the globe. There is no force that can
prevent triumph of justice. Neighborliness is impossible unless the
Turkish leaders find the courage repent of their deeds. Turkey openly
supports Azerbaijan which threatens Armenia with war. It’s not a sign
of good intentions," UAR Vice President said, ANF news agency reports.
