December 18, RA Foreign Minister Edward Nalbandian received Turkish journalists in Armenia.

The Armenian FM underlined that journalists’ visit is a good opportunity to give Turkish society immediate information about Armenia’s approach and stance on fundamental issues, RA Foreign Ministry press service informed NEWS.am.

Nalbandian outlined the dialogue was held in favorable and friendly atmosphere, adding that the reconciliation should progress without preconditions. Laying our preconditions at this stage means to go round in circles.

Answering the questions, Nalbandian pointed out that it is unwise to link Armenia-Turkey reconciliation with any other process, as it either conflicts with logics and quintessence of achieved agreements or the principled line of international community.

“Any side that attempts laying down preconditions will have to assume full responsibility for the consequences,” Nalbandian concluded.
