Turkey Sets Three Conditions to Armenia

PanARMENIAN.Net - Without the fulfillment of Turkey's three fundamental demands by Armenia any development of ties between the two states is out of the question, head of the Turkish delegation to the PACE Murat Mercan stated in Strasbourg. According to the Turkish parliamentarian the conditions are as follows: settlement of the Nagorno Karabakh conflict admissible for both parties; Armenia's positive reply to Turkey's proposal on the Armenian Genocide issue; recognition of the present borders with Turkey on the basis of the Kars agreement of 1921 by Yerevan. "Without fulfillment of these conditions it's no sense speaking of normalization of the Armenian-Turkish relations," Merjan said emphasizing the opening of the Armenian-Turkish border also depends on the proper fulfillment of the above mentioned conditions, reported Trend news agency.
