YEREVAN. – Armenian President Serzh Sargsyan said Yerevan is ready to resume normalization process if Ankara displays political will and abandons putting forward preconditions.  

In an interview with Czech “Lidové noviny” newspaper, President Sargsyan said implementation of the protocols will become a key component for strengthening of regional stability.

Asked about obstacles to normalization, Sargsyan named unwillingness of Turkish side to comply with the previously reached arrangements and ratify the protocols without any preconditions.

International community shares Armenia’s approach to normalize relations without preconditions and shares the view that the ball is in Turkey’s court, he said.
