/PanARMENIAN.Net/ "We can’t live in anger and hostility atmosphere
forever. We have to create grounds for RA -Turkish rapprochement. First
step is the most important one, no mater whether it’s undertaken
through "football diplomacy" or as an expression of good will," RA
Literature Institute Director Avo Isahakyan told a news conference
today.
According to him, recent Armenian-Turkish rapprochement -related
events proved Turkey tries to secure concessions on NKR issue
from Armenia without trying to improve relations. "I wish we had
normalized relations with Turkey. Too bad Armenia is more ready to
improve ties than Turkey is. We’re not the ones who committed the
Genocide, we’re not the perpetrators," Isahakyan stated, expressing
a hope that at least Turkish and Armenian youth will manage to reach
mutual understanding.
