I Could Have Found a Thousand Different Reasons Not to Come to Turkey, But Here I Am: Alen Simonyan

During a press conference in Ankara today, the President of the National Assembly Alen Simonyan stated that there are always reasons to worsen relations if one wishes to do so.

“I could have found a thousand different reasons not to come to Turkey, but I am here to tell the Turkish society that Armenia is ready for peace and normalization of relations without preconditions,” said the President of the National Assembly of Armenia.

Recall that after the installation of the "Nemesis" monument, Turkey closed its airspace to flights from Armenia to third countries. Moreover, on May 3, the day of Alen Simonyan's visit to Ankara, Turkish Foreign Minister Mevlüt Çavuşoğlu announced that only as an exception was Alen Simonyan's flight allowed.
