A meeting of the Public Council took place in Armenia, during which
the Armenian-Turkish relations and further steps were discussed.

Chairman of the Public Council Vazgen Manukyan stated at the meeting
that a better result could not be achieved in the Armenian-Turkish
process. "Armenia’s involvement in the Armenian-Turkish normalization
was more important at this stage, than the border’s opening, as the
Armenian-Turkish process has united all Armenians and facilitated the
Armenian Genocide international recognition," Manukyan noted. In his
opinion, though the Armenian-Turkish Protocols contain a provision
on mutual recognition of the borders, the document could not be better.

Manukyan stressed that now the Karabakh problem is a priority.

According to Manukyan, one should not expect Turkey to recognize the
Genocide. "I consider this stage to be positive, while the continuation
will strengthen our possibilities," said Manukyan, the press service
of the RA Public Council reported.
