Turkey won't be Armenia's partner unless it acknowledges GenocideDecember 17, 2009 - 14:06 AMT PanARMENIAN.Net - Head of RPA parliamentary group Galust Sahakyan said Turkey won't be Armenia's partner unless it acknowledges the Genocide. "The main goal of Armenian-Turkish reconciliation process is not establishment of partner relations but opening of the border," he told a news conference on Thursday. Asked to comment why RA President Serzh Sargsyan never responds to Turkish officials' statements, Mr Sahakyan said, "President Sargsyan has a strong team to promote the idea of Armenian-Turkish reconciliation and absence of reaction is by no means a sign of weakness." At that he emphasized that Turkish PM Recep Tayyip Erdogan has lost control over his team. "If Erdogan can't cope with the tasks he is charged with, he should resign," Mr. Sahakyan said.
