ARF Bureau statement regarding Armenia-Turkey relations and settlement of the Artsakh issue

The Armenian Revolutionary Federation (ARF) repeatedly outlines the challenges tied to the process of normalization of Armenia-Turkey relations, especially with the participation of the current leadership in Armenia. 

We consider it critical to state that Ankara has not discarded its three evident preconditions for the normalization of relations with Armenia (Armenia’s renunciation of support for international recognition for the Armenian Genocide, subordination of Artsakh to Azerbaijan and legal demarcation of the current de facto Armenia-Turkey border), and it has also added a fourth: the provision of the so-called “Zangezur corridor.” Moreover, the announcements by the representatives of the highest authorities of Turkey regarding the coordination of normalization of Armenia-Turkey relations with Azerbaijan confirm that the discussion is not about Armenia-Turkey interstate negotiations, but rather a new surrender forced on Armenia by enemies working in tandem.
