Armenian Foreign Ministry regrets that Turkish Prime Minister Recep
Tayyip Erdogan made a statement on demolition of “Monument of Humanity”
in Kars, as such kind of statement only damage the establishment of
Armenia-Turkey relations, Armenian Foreign Minister Edward Nalbandian
told the reporters on January 14.
“This statement is a new obstacle to Armenia-Turkey rapprochement,”
the minister stressed.
Nalbandian emphasized the Armenian side does not intend to change
its stance on Armenia-Turkey reconciliation process as there is no
need for it.
“Turkey should change its policy and establish relations with Armenian
without any preconditions. The international community is waiting
for such a step from Turkey,” Nalbandian noted.
