Armenia adopted a foreign policy to normalize relations with its neighbors, Armenian Prime Minister Tigran Sargsyan stated at the meeting with students at Ural federal University. “We are ready to normalize relations without preconditions with all our neighbors, unlike them,” he said.
Prime Minister recalled Armenian President Serzh Sargsyan’s initiative to normalize relations without preconditions, but the reconciliation failed because of Turkey. “When the Armenia-Turkey Protocols were signed, Armenia submitted the documents for ratification in the Parliament. Turkey failed to do it and stepped back, setting the issue of Armenian Genocide and Karabakh conflict resolution as preconditions for rapprochement. The preconditions are unacceptable for Armenia,” Sargsyan underscored.
As to the international recognition of Armenian Genocide, the Prime Minister said activities are conducted to raise public awareness in this direction. Armenian public institutions take effective measures worldwide. Today there are dozens of states, which legally recognized Armenian Genocide under Ottoman Empire. We attach significance to the international recognition of 1915 mass killings of Armenians to present a real picture of Turkey to the world, its history and consequences,” Sargsyan emphasized.
