Poland is ready to render its assistance in establishing
Armenian-Turkish relations, said Marshal of the Polish Senate Bogdan
Borusevich at a meeting of Armenian and Polish MPs, Monday.
He said that for this purpose the Polish Foreign Ministry offered
the Armenian Foreign Ministry to present its approaches of Armenia’s
interests in Turkey and Turkey’s interests in Armenia, which would
contribute to establishing relations between the two states and
achieving mutual understanding. The Speaker of the Armenian Parliament
Tigran Torosyan thanked Poland for recognizing the Armenian Genocide
in Ottoman Turkey, 1915, and pointed out that Poland’s offer is very
interesting, but hardly practicable if official Ankara’s position
is taken into account. In this matter, Armenia’s position is known,
said Torosyan and added that official Yerevan is willing to begin a
dialogue with Ankara without any preliminary conditions. Torosyan
considers the Armenian blockade from the side of Turkey, which is
taking steps to join the EU, unacceptable.
