/PanARMENIAN.Net/ Armenia’s policy in the region is targeted at
transforming it into a region of stability, cooperation and development
of the states on the basis of democracy and human rights observance,
Armenian Deputy Foreign Minister Gegham Gharibjanian stated at the
international scientific conference titled “Caucasus without conflicts
and terror: dialogue of civilizations on the Caucasian crossroad”
held in Yerevan today. In his words, this way it would be possible
to counteract the challenges and international terrorism. The Deputy
Minister remarked that the dialogue between civilizations was initiated
by former Iranian President Mohammad Khatami several years ago.

“The Iran-Armenia relations can serve as an ideal model of relations
for the South Caucasian states.

Unfortunately the same cannot be said about the relations between
Armenia and Turkey. The Armenian-Turkish relations can be settled
if Turkey acknowledges the Armenian Genocide, opens the borders and
assumes a neutral position on the Nagorno Karabakh conflict settlement,
Gegham Gharibjanian underscored.
