ARFD: Armenia lost in Armenian-Turkish negotiations
Armenia lost in Armenian-Turkish negotiations, ARFD representative Hrant Margaryan stated during discussion on Armenian-Turkish relations.
According to him, Armenia itself violated its principle of establishing Armenian-Turkish relations without preconditions. ''Normalization of ties without preconditions would be a proof that relations with Turkey could be established. Yet violation of our principle became the reason for failure. If we stood by it, the Turkish part would appear guilty in front of the whole world, Margaryan said.
He also stressed that issues of Karabakh conflict, return of Western Armenian territories, Armenian Genocide recognition and Javahk Armenians require are national issues to be considered from a single point of view. ''We mustn't sacrifice one issue to solve another,'' ARFD representative stressed.
