Turkey not ready for package normalization with Armenia without preconditions

Leader of Armenakan-Ramkavar Azatakan party Hakob Avetikyan said that the party hails Armenian President Serzh Sargsyan’s initiative on the Armenian-Turkish rapprochement.

“However, after Turkey’s frustration of the Armenian-Turkish Protocols ratification, Armenia, in case of necessity, should discuss certain documents with Turkey, for example, only the border opening or establishment of diplomatic relations,” Avetikyan told the party congress.

According to him, the practice proves that Turkey is not ready for package normalization with Armenia without preconditions.
