Karabakh not linked to relations with Turkey, RA President assures
Recognition of the Armenian Genocide is the issue of justice and security. It's a necessity, the Armenian President said.

"The fact of the Armenian Genocide is frequently mentioned in international media," Serzh Sargsyan said in Beirut.

Commenting on concerns that Turkey may meddle with the Nagorno Karabakh conflict settlement process, the President said, "Nagorno Karabakh conflict will be resolved when we see that we have everything we have struggled for since 1988."

"Resolution of Karabakh conflict and Armenian-Turkish talks are not interrelated," Mr. Sargsyan emphasized.
