Armenia does not intend to discuss the fact of Genocide in any format or pretend it believes Turkey might play a positive role in Karabakh peace process, RA President Serzh Sargsyan told U.S. Armenians in Washington National Cathedral after his meeting with Turkish Premier Recep Tayyip Erdogan.

Armenia's stance was and is unchanged: Turkey cannot speak to Armenia and Armenians on the language of preconditions. We will not allow it, RA President stated.

According to him, any new foreign policy course suffers trials, “as we go through unbeaten path.”

I am confident that Armenia will withstand this test as well, Sargsyan declared.

NEWS.am recalls that on April 12 President Sargsyan held a meeting in Washington with Turkish Premier Recep Tayyip Erdogan. The meeting held on the sidelines of the Global Nuclear Security Summit, lasted an hour and fifteen minutes.

In less than an hour the Armenian leader will meet with U.S. President Barack Obama.
