"The normalization process of the Armenian – Turkish relations was
in a deadlock and by the initiation of the President of the Armenian
Republic Serzh Sargsyan it came out from the impasse. We passed a
way of normalizing relations without preconditions, and both in our
opinion and the opinion of the international community this was the
only correct path. And the correct paths do not lead to deadlocks,
" the Armenian Foreign Minister Edward Nalbandian explained during
the interview on "Real Policy" program by the Public TV.

Commenting on the idea expressed by the RA President in his address
which said that "…we shall consider moving forward when we are
convinced that there is a proper environment in Turkey and there is
leadership in Ankara ready to reengage in the normalization process"
the RA FM answered that the elections are the inner problem of Turkey.

"We have already told that we will be ready to move forward if we see
partners in Turkey again, who will be ready to move forward without
preconditions, to normalize the relations, realize the obtained
agreements,"Edward Nalbandian said and added, "The last period was
like turning the sand watch and with every grain of sand both we and
the international community was losing its belief and trust towards
Turkey. If Turkey shows trustful behavior, trustful words then we
will undertake corresponding steps."
