Armenia seeks to normalize relations with Turkey like before, but time proves Ankara to be an unreliable partner, RA National Assembly Speaker Hovik Abrahamyan stated at the meeting with schoolchildren within the framework of National Assembly-launched “Open Door” program.

According to him, Armenia wishes to establish diplomatic relations with Turkey and open the border, as there are no implacable enemies, but the international recognition of Armenian Genocide is a priority to Armenia. “Genocide recognition by Turkey first is very crucial for us,” Abrahamyan said.

Referring to Karabakh peace process, he stressed that a change in OSCE Minsk Group format is unacceptable for Armenian side.
