The Armenia-Turkey normalization process does not at all mean abandoning the efforts toward the international recognition of the Armenian Genocide, RA President Serzh Sargsyan at a meeting of representatives of dioceses of the Armenian Apostolic Church.

The RA presidential press office told NEWS.am that the Armenian leader stressed the importance of building harmonious State-Church relations, especially during this historic period. Speaking of the Armenian-Turkish relations, President Sargsyan stressed that Armenia, as a responsible member of the international relations system, has always remained faithful to its commitments and is ready to progress in conformity with the Armenian-Turkish protocols and establish relations with turkey without any preconditions and within a reasonable timeframe.

The Armenian President pointed out the international community’s support for the ratification of the documents and establishment of Armenian-Turkish diplomatic relations without precondition. As regards the fears about Turkey’s attempts to link the Armenia-Turkey normalization process to the settlement of the Nagorno-Karabakh conflict, President Serzh Sargsyan stressed that the two processes have nothing in common.
