“Armenia will benefit from Armenia-Turkey normalization process in any case,” RA Foreign Minister Edward Nalbandian stated in an interview with Public Armenian Television.

“He who acts sincerely, always benefits. We did likewise, without any ulterior motives. Both the mediator and supporting countries witnessed it. If Turkey has hidden agenda or a different stance, I will decline to comment on the consequences Turkey may face if the reconciliation process fails. The world will lose confidence in Turkey at least, to say nothing of other consequences,” Nalbandian said.

According to him, if Turkey fails the normalization process, “Armenia will at worst return to the state prior to September 6, 2008, but with better international reputation.”
