/PanARMENIAN.Net/ "French Socialists stand for continuation of the
EU-Turkey talks. However, the first condition we set is recognition of
the Armenian Genocide in the Ottoman Empire in 1915," First Secretary
of the French Socialist Party Francois Hollande told a news conference
in Yerevan.
"The second condition for successful talks is improvement of Turkey’s
relations with the neighbor states, specifically Armenia. We think
that we can advance via talks only. It refers to peaceful settlement
of the Nagorno Karabakh problem as well.
Negotiations with Turkey can produce effect," Mr Hollande noted.
