/PanARMENIAN.Net/ We do not need to open the Armenian-Turkish border
and establish diplomatic relations at any cost, Eduard Sharmazanov,
spokesman for the Republican Party of Armenia told a press conference
in Yerevan.

According to him, the Armenian side need all this without any
preconditions. "The Turkish side must understand that normalization
of relations between countries is necessary not only to Armenia,
but rest countries of the region," Edward Sharmazanov said.

He also added that the sides have completely different perception of
advancement in normalization of relations. "If the Turkish side, by
saying progress understands unilateral concessions from the Armenian
side, then let them forget about it. Armenia will never make unilateral
concessions, " Mr. Sharmazanov said, adding that all preconditions
are unacceptable for Armenia.

"The Republic of Armenia will never allow any country, including
Turkey to throwing around ultimatums," Mr.Sharmazanov stressed.

"The Armenian could also put its preconditions and say that it will
normalize relations only after Turkey recognizes the Armenian Genocide,
but to ensure security in the region and in the sake of democracy
the Armenian side rejected any preconditions. In this regard the
party’s position is clear: Nagorno-Karabakh can not be independent
within Azerbaijan, Armenia should have a common land border with
Stepanakert, safety should be guaranteed for the people and for the
State of Nagorno Karabakh, " Edward Sharmazanov said.
