  RA President: commission of historians on Armenian Genocide needlessNovember 11, 2008 - 15:30 AMT PanARMENIAN.Net - Formation of a commission of historians to study the fact of the Armenian Genocide is absolutely needless, the Armenian President said. "We want to establish diplomatic relations with Turkey and have open borders," Serzh Sargsyan said in an interview with Frankfurter Allgemeine Zeitung. "Turkey's acknowledgement of the Armenian Genocide should not be a precondition for establishment of relations. European countries did not need commissions of historians to develop normal relations," he underscored. "We want to restore our relations with Turkey and Azerbaijan. We want to build a link connecting Armenia and Iran. The stronger infrastructure we have the more attractive and secure Armenia will be," President Sargsyan said.
