YEREVAN. – International community and Armenia repeatedly stated the
need to normalize Armenian-Turkish relations without preconditions,
spokesperson for Armenian MFA Tigran Balayan told Armenian
News-NEWS.amcommenting on Turkish Foreign Minister’s statement.

“It is on the basis of this principle that the process of negotiations
with Turkey started in 2008. With this common understanding we started
the process and came to an agreement. During the contacts with our
Turkish colleagues, we publicly and clearly stated Armenia would
never put under question the fact of the Armenian Genocide or the
importance of its international recognition,” Balayan said.

In his recent interview with NTV television, Turkish FM Mevlut
Cavusoglu said relations will be settled if Armenia gives up
“allegations” about Armenian Genocide and liberates “the occupied
territories.”

“As for the Karabakh issue, if Turkey wants to help, they must keep
as far away as possible from this process,” he said.
