"An aspirant to the EU, Turkey should pursue a more positive policy in the region.

"We have many times proposed to establish diplomatic relations but have not received a reply do far. We suppose that neighbor states should build relationships without preconditions and moreover without advancing the demand of a third state," Armenian President Robert Kocharian said when addressing the Bertelsmann Fund in Berlin, APA reports.

Touching on the Nagorno Karabakh conflict, Robert Kocharyan said that Karabakh gained its independence after USSR collapse. "The independence of Nagorno Karabakh was obtained after the collapse of the Soviet Union. Nagorno Karabakh has never been a part of independent Azerbaijan. Successfully building its state system the Nagorno Karabakh Republic has probed its right to existence. If Kosovo conflict is solved, the elements of this formula can be applied to the settlement of Nagorno Karabakh conflict," he claimed.
