Turkish society should overcome its complexes
The issue of Genocide is of key importance for Armenians but we must overcome our complexes towards Turks, Armenian Prime Minister Tigran Sargsyan says. Armenia's foreign policy should not be anti-Turkish, he told Hürriyet in an interview.

"We must be able to change our nation's attitude," he stressed, adding that public acknowledgement is one of the most important tools in developing ties between the two countries.

"In my opinion, the eventual recognition of Armenian Genocide will help Turkish society break through. This is way to becoming a full-fledged member of European Union," Armenian Premier said.

"The Germans succeeded in overcoming their complex, helping their society to acheive unprecedented social and economic development," he added.
