A meeting of the Public Council took place in Armenia, during which the Armenian-Turkish relations and further steps were discussed. Chairman of the Public Council Vazgen Manukyan stated at the meeting that a better result could not be achieved in the Armenian-Turkish process. "Armenia's involvement in the Armenian-Turkish normalization was more important at this stage, than the border's opening, as the Armenian-Turkish process has united all Armenians and facilitated the Armenian Genocide international recognition," Manukyan noted. In his opinion, though the Armenian-Turkish Protocols contain a provision on mutual recognition of the borders, the document could not be better.

Manukyan stressed that now the Karabakh problem is a priority.

According to Manukyan, one should not expect Turkey to recognize the Genocide. "I consider this stage to be positive, while the continuation will strengthen our possibilities," said Manukyan, the press service of the RA Public Council reported.
