YEREVAN, June 18. /ARKA/. Armenian National Assembly Speaker Tigran Torosyan finds Turkey’s attitude toward Armenia unacceptable.
Armenia is willing to establish ties with this neighboring country without any preconditions, Torosyan said as met Friday with a delegation sent by Caucasian-Caspian Commission to the region for collecting facts, as National Assembly’s press office reports.
Unlike Armenia, Turkey puts forward preconditions demanding Armenians to stop seeking Armenian Genocide fact recognition.
Besides, Turkey has taken a biased stance on Karabakh openly supporting Azerbaijan’s interests and keeps blockading Armenia’s borders.
“A country enjoying CE membership and wanting to join European Union mustn’t stick to such a stance”, the speaker said.
Armenia and Turkey have no diplomatic relations and Armenian-Turkish border was closed in 1993 on Ankara’s initiative.
Turkey’s blockade inflicts $500mln damage to Armenia every year. M.V.-0---
