/PanARMENIAN. Net/ “I have always said and will continue to say that Genocide recognition is not a precondition to Armenian-Turkish relations,” Armenian FM Vartan Oskanian stated in an interview with the New Anatolian. In his words, “it is our moral obligation to pursue recognition. But that should not impede the normalization of our relations. As long as the Armenians do not say that unless Turkey recognizes the genocide we will not normalize our relations, Turkey should not say the reverse, that Armenia should drop the complaint of the Armenian Genocide. Neither side should put any preconditions. We pursue recognition; Turkey is pursuing policies of denialism. I really cannot see the reason why the borders cannot be opened, so that our people would interact. That certainly would create more favorable conditions, so that we can address those issues in a more constructive manner,” the Armenian FM underscored.
