/PanARMENIAN.Net/ Comments made by Armenian Deputy Foreign Minister
Arman Kirakossian that Armenia is prepared for unconditional diplomatic
relations with Turkey have elicited a sharp response from Ankara.
Yesterday evening in Ankara, PM Erdogan referred to the Yerevan
administration’s refusal to consider the Ankara suggestion of a joint
commission to investigate Armenian "claims" of genocide, saying,
"First they need to answer our suggestion. They have still not offered
an answer. This is not a show of good intention. I do not find this
stance of theirs sincere," reports Hurriyet.
Arman Kirakossian touched on the Armenian-Tukish relations during
Hrant Dink’s funeral in Istanbul.
