Armenia-Turkey normalization process proved that Turkey is unready for the establishment of bilateral relations, member of Ramkavar Azatakan Party Harutyun Arakelyan told the reports Saturday.

According to him, in this situation Armenia should adopt a law, assuming criminal penalty for the negation of the fact of Armenian Genocide.

According to him, Armenia should lodge a suit on recognition of Genocide in the International court. “It is necessary to file a complaint in the International court against Azerbaijan for the perpetration of genocide against Armenian population in Baku, Sumgait, Kirovabad, as well as the killing of its population in Khojalu,” he said.

Republican Party of Armenia (RPA) member Karen Avagyan noted there was a menace that Armenia-Turkey normalization process will suspend the international process of Armenian Genocide recognition. “As we saw it did not happen. On the contrary, the Armenian Genocide was discussed by world community more than ever,” he stated. According to him, Armenian diplomacy both resisted Turkey’s pressure its attempts to link Armenia-Turkey reconciliation with Karabakh conflict resolution and nailed down Turkish side. “If ARF Dashnaktsutyun knew such an outcome of Armenia-Turkey normalization process beforehand, it would not quit the coalition,” Avagyan stressed.
