“A search for ways to achieve mutual understanding should be a civilized answer to existing challenges. It was with this idea in mind that we initiated rapprochement process with Turkey,” Armenian President stated citing Turkey’s lack of political will as the reason behind failed attempts at normalization of relations with Armenia.
