"The president and the head of the National Assembly mentioned that, we
are going to settle down relations with Turkey without preconditions",-
Gagik Tsarukyan the head of the "Bargavach Hayastan" political party
said during the briefing in the National Assembly.

G. Tsarukyan assured and even expressed willingness to write and
to sign that "If there is any precondition, we will not accept it,
we will refuse. We can’t sell our nation’s face. We agreed to settle
diplomatic relations and to open the borders, nothing else".

On the question "Why Turkish officials try to introduce the Nagorno
Karabakh conflict settlement as a precondition for the normalization
of Armenian- Turkish relations", G. Tsarukyan noted. "We have already
showed our position. So you must take into consideration what we
are saying. There is no precondition. If there are any preconditions
about Nagorno Karabakh or Armenian Genocide, we will not accept the
protocols",-said the leader of "Bargavach Hayastan".
