"Establishment of Armenian-Turkish relations without any preconditions
will give its results by all means, but it is difficult to say exactly
when",- Head of the parliamentary faction of the Republican Party of
Armenia (RPA), RPA Deputy Chairman Galoust Sahakyan said to ArmInfo
correspondent.

Actually, both Turkey and the USA have recognized the Armenian
Genocide, the recognition just should be brought in compliance
with legal standards, Sahakyan said. "It is here that Turkey has
some concerns. Therefore normalization of relations between Armenia
and Turkey may be delayed, but I think certain mutual understanding
will be reached in the two countries’ diplomacies in autumn 2009",-
Sahakyan stressed. According to Sahakyan, Armenians think that as soon
as the border is opened, Turks will come to Armenia, and Armenians
will become Turkish speaking people, however, Sahakyan qualified this
policy as vulgar.
