TURKEY TO BE OFFERED TO SOLVE PROBLEM OF NORMALIZING ITS
RELATIONS WITH NEIGHBORS DURING FORTHCOMING NEGOTIATIONS ON ITS
ACCESSION TO EU: OSCE ACTING CHAIRMAN

YEREVAN, SEPTEMBER 6. ARMINFO. Turkey will be offered to solve the
problem of establishing relations with neighbors, including with
Armenia, during the forthcoming negotiations on its accession to
the European Union. It will make real Armenia’s cooperation with
Azerbaijan, stated the OSCE acting chairman, Slovenia’s Foreign
Minister Dimitrij Rupel during today’s negotiations with Armenia’s
Prime Minister Andranik Margaryan.

As ARMINFO was informed in the governmental press-service, Rupel
supported a viewpoint (based on international experience) according
to which both the establishment of trade and economic relations
with conflict’s parties and the formation of confidence atmosphere
considerably contribute to strengthening of political relations. In
his opinion, Nagorno-Karabakh conflict settlement has become more
realizable within the framework of his present visit’s meetings in
Baku and Yerevan, despite the fact that there are some difficulties
in connection with the forthcoming parliamentary elections in
Azerbaijan. Rupel noted that he is informed with the process of
democratic reforms in Armenia. He estimated positively the process
of constitutional reforms meaning that Armenia tries to make its
legislative structures more corresponding to European standards.
