Progress in Armenian-Turkish relations may be seen only if Ankara stops
lying preconditions to Yerevan, head of the RA parliamentary committee
on foreign relations Armen Rustamyan said during Yerevan-Moscow space
bridge titled "Armenia-Turkey: real progress in bilateral relations
of geopolitical games of superpowers."

According to parliamentarian, it seemed that after the events in
Georgia Ankara decided to renounce preconditions in dialogue with
Armenia. "Therefore, Armenia initiated talks. But recent statements by
Turkish officials show that Armenians were wrong in their conclusions,"
he said.

Armen Rustamyan said that no progress will be seen in Turkish-Armenian
relations unless Turkey stops its policy of preconditions.
