MFA: Turkey puts a crimp into Armenia-Turkey reconciliation

“All those statements that Turkey makes, referring to approval and passage of Resolution on the 1915 Genocide by Sweden’s Parliament and the Committee on Foreign Affairs of the United States House of Representative, that these processes will harm process of normalisation of Armenia-Turkey relations, is nothing else by a folding screen,” said Armenia’s Foreign Minister Edward Nalbandian, when spoke to the German Foreign Relations Council.

“Actually, Turkey itself does its best to impose preconditions to make the process run into difficulties and to put a crimp into the process of normalisation of relations. By these meanings Turkey is calling into the question the sense for ‘reasonable time’,” he said.

Edward Nalbandian said hopes Turkey will realize the responsibility for effects of its carried policy and will not betray international communities’ hopes, a spokesperson for Foreign Ministry of Armenia quoted Nalbandian as saying.
