/PanARMENIAN.Net/ The overwhelming majority of Turks have a positive
stance towards establishment of relations with neighboring Armenia, in
case the latter meets "certain conditions," returns of a sociological
survey in Turkey indicate. 82% of respondents out of 8 thousand 714,
questioned by Association for Struggle against Ungrounded Statements
on Genocide have a positive stance over establishment of relations
with Armenia, in case the latter meets "certain conditions." These
include refusal from "statements" on the Genocide, "apologizing to
Turkey for these statements." 53% of respondents listed a whole range
of preconditions, including "Armenians should apologize to Turks for
pogroms during WWI," "demolish" memorial to victims of the Armenian
Genocide in Yerevan, withdraw from Nagorno Karabakh.
16% of those questioned considered "breaking off relations
with the Armenian communities of Europe and US and refusal from
statements on the Genocide" sufficient. 18% of interviewees do
not wish establishment of relations between Armenia and Turkey at
all. Meanwhile, the percentage of those willing to establish relations
without preconditions is not mentioned, reports RFE/RL.
