/PanARMENIAN.Net/ In the Process of RA-Turkish rapprochement RA took
its best efforts and showed good will despite its dramatic history
and Armenian Genocide, RA President Serzh Sargsyan said at the meeting
with RA Diaspora Ministry-initiated "Return Home" Program participants.

"Within past years we conducted negotiations, signed 2 documents,
still, some Turkish officials decided to set preconditions and
link Armenian-Turkish relations with NKR issue. We can’t accept
preconditions as we realize the role of Turkey in the region. Turkey
has to understand no preconditions should be set in 21st century,
as preconditions lead to counteraction," RA President emphasized.

"Return Home" Program aims at development of Armenia-Diaspora
relations. The program hosted 63 students from Russia, Turkey, Egypt,
Georgia and Ukraine. The next group of program participants will
Arrive in Armenia on August 1.
