YEREVAN, April 26. /Mediamax/. Armenian Foreign Minister Vardan Oskanian said in the exclusive interview to Mediamax that "Turkey can - by removing the blockade, and by adopting a more even-handed approach regarding the conflict - expand Armenia's security options, decrease our concerns about certain issues, and thus make possible a compromise solution of the conflict".
"In other words, as a result of Turkish policy today, Armenia is forced to insure itself against the possible deterioration of Armenian-Turkish relations, thus placing greater demands on security. We are convinced that if over the last decade we had had good-neighborly relations with Turkey, today, the Nagorno Karabakh conflict would either have been resolved, or we would have far greater opportunities to find a quick solution", Minister Oskanian stressed.
Armenian Minister also expressed the opinion that Turkey's recognition of the Armenian Genocide can have serious positive consequences on security guarantees for the people of Nagorno Karabakh. --0--
