ArmInfo.Armenia confirms its determination to restore the relations with Turkey without any preconditions, the Armenian Prime Minister Nikol Pashinyan said in an interview to Euractiv.
Anwering the question whether there have been any positive signs that relations with Turkey may improve, Pashinyan said: "Unfortunately, I must say, no, we do not have any signal that could witness a change in Turkey's previous position. If Turkey considers itself a democratic country, it should welcome the triumph of democracy in its neighbouring state and start a dialogue".
In this context, Turkey's continued anti-Armenian stance gives at least some thought. We confirm our determination to restore the relations without any preconditions.
Should we put on our agenda the Cyprus issue and human rights problems in Turkey, if Ankara continues to push its approach to establish diplomatic relations with Armenia only when the Nagorno-Karabakh conflict is resolved? Would this kind of politics bring stability to our region?, Pashinyan questions.
The Head of the Government also recalled the unprecedented rating registered in the December elections when the most reputable observer - the OSCE/ODIHR mission, among others, expressed a very high opinion of the polls. Armenia's democratic reforms have been recognised by all well-known organisations and the victory of democracy in our country is evident to all.
