RA MFA position on normalization of Armenian-Turkish relations unchangeable
RA Ministry of Foreign Affairs has repeatedly expressed its position on the stabilization of Armenian -Turkish relations, Head of PR Department at RA FM, Tigran Balayan told PanARMENIAN.Net reporter.

According RA FM Edward Nalbandyan's Mar. 11 statement to International Diplomatic Academy in Paris, the meeting of Armenian and Turkish presidents initiated the negotiations between the parties, aiming to promote stability ion the region. ''Yet, stabilization of Turkish-Armenian relations can't call into question the fact of the Armenian Genocide. If Armenia and Turkey display political will and take efforts to stabilize the relations, no circumstance will prevent them from it.''

''Yerevan and Ankara agreed to stabilize the relations. Negotiations between parties will be followed by opening of Turkish -Armenian border,'' Turkey's Sabah daily reported, emphasizing that Turkish authorities stipulated that the opening of the border will be possible after Apr. 24.
