/PanARMENIAN.Net/ The Armenian Assembly of America hails the efforts
for normalization of the Armenian-Turkish relations and the recent
meeting between the Presidents of the two states, the Assembly’s
Regional Director for Armenia and Nagorno Karabakh told a news
conference in Yerevan
"Just a year ago, no one could fancy that Turkish President may pay a
visit to Yerevan. If the tendency is upheld, the right solution will
be found," Ms. Arpi Vartanian said.
"Turkey should appreciate Armenia’s willingness to normalize relations
without preconditions and should stop interfering in the Karabakh
process and acknowledge the Armenian Genocide," she said. "The recent
developments inspire hope for continuation of the dialogue."
Turkish President Abdullah Gul was in Yerevan to September 6, 2008
to watch a World Cup qualifier between the Armenian and Turkish
national soccer teams. The dialogue was later continued at the
ministerial level.
