/PanARMENIAN.Net/ Yerevan does not view Armenian Genocide recognition
as precondition for establishing mutual ties with Turkey, RA Peresident
Serzh Sargsyan said in an interview with BBC. "Of course. it’s very
important for all – for our nation, Turkey and the entire world. It is
important to restore historical justice, and enable our two peoples
to re-establish normal ties to prevent all that from happening in
future. In the meantime, President stressed that it was not a proper
case for discussing possibilities of compromise."
"We say yes, a Genocide did really occur, no matter whether Turkey
recognizes it. There’s a fact acknowledged by all Genocide experts
and many countries worldwide. But presently, we do not view it as a
precondition for establishing ties with Turks," RA President said,
adding that Armenia must look to the future, without forgetting
the past.
