/PanARMENIAN.Net/ Turkey doesn’t seek normalization of relations with
Armenia. It remains Azerbaijan’s ally in the Karabakh issue, Armenian
Foreign Minister Vartan Oskanian told a news conference in Yerevan.

"During a meeting with Turkish FM Abdullah Gul, Armenia confirmed
readiness to normalize relations without preconditions. However, Ankara
receives information from Baku, and this preconceived information
impedes our dialogue. I am hopeful that after the meeting Mr Gul
formed a more correct opinion of the Nagorno Karabakh conflict and
Armenia’s stance in the region," the RA FM siad.

Mr Oskanian has also held an out of record meeting with leaders of
world media in Istanbul. "They are badly informed of the Karabakh
issue and the Armenia-Turkey relations in general. I had a speech
in the air of CNN-Turk and I took the opportunity to familiarize the
Turkish public with the issues," Mr Oskanian said.
