Armenia hasn’t received any proposal from Turkey on normalization of relations without any preconditions

Armenia hasn’t received any proposal from Turkey on normalization of relations without any preconditions, Deputy Foreign Minister of Armenia Shavarsh Kocharyan told the reporters answering the question if there have been any developments in the relations with Turkey following Armenia’s declaration of the Zurich protocols null and void.

“Following the withdrawal of the protocols first the instruction of the President was implemented which was about informing the Turkish side about Armenia’s decision. At the same time I would like to remind that the Armenian side has announced that it’s always ready for negotiations to normalize the relations, but without preconditions. In this regard we have not received any proposal from Turkey”, ARMENPRESS reports Kocharyan saying.

During his speech at the 72nd session of the UN General Assembly on September 20 2017, Armenian President Serzh Sargsyan announced that Armenia will declare the two Protocols null and void since they continuously lacked any positive progress towards their implementation, and will enter the spring of 2018 without those, as the experience has demonstrated, futile Protocols.
