/PanARMENIAN.Net/ Normalization of the Armenian-Turkish relations is
favorable for Armenia, Turkey and the entire region, the RA Foreign
Minister said.

"Armenia never rejected dialog with Turkey and is willing to discuss
any problem and establish diplomatic relations without preconditions,"
Edward Nalbandian told a news conference today.

"We welcome Turkey’s Caucasus Stability and Cooperation initiative,
although there are many questions regarding the format and mechanisms
of the platform," he said.

"Turkey can facilitate the Karabakh resolution process by opening the
border with Armenia and influencing on Azerbaijan. But it can by no
means be a mediator in the talks," the Minister added.

“I should like to see any power of the world destroy this race, this small tribe of unimportant people, whose wars have all been fought and lost, whose structures have crumbled, literature is unread, music is unheard, and prayers are no more answered. Go ahead, destroy Armenia . See if you can do it. Send them into the desert without bread or water. Burn their homes and churches. Then see if they will not laugh, sing and pray again. For when two of them meet anywhere in the world, see if they will not create a New Armenia.” - WS
