President of Javakhq Patriotic Union and head of the Republican Party
of Armenia’s parliamentary faction Shirak Torosyan would very much
like that the Armenia-Turkey border to open and normal relations be
established between Armenia and Turkey.

"Of course those normal relations will be established according to
the requirements of the 21st century. But that, which took place in
the 20th century, in order to recognize that, an ongoing struggle
must be carried out, so that Turkey itself finally recognizes the
[Armenian] Genocide. Personally, for me, that’s very important,"
said Torosyan at a press conference today,

The Javakhq Union president also highlighted the necessity of
reparations. In his words, Turkey must compensate the Armenian people
for the genocide it committed, much in the same way Germany compensated
the Jews for the Holocaust.
