“The dialogue between Armenia and Turkey always existed,” declared
RA Foreign Minister Vardan Oskanyan in response to the question about
Turkish media reports on secret talks between Armenia and Turkey.

According to the Foreign Minister, there have always been ties between
the two countries, there have been meetings on different levels,
even on the level of Foreign Ministers.

“There is no secret here,” Minister Oskanyan said. At the same time
he refuted that the contacts started after the correspondence between
the Prime Minister of Turkey and RA President.

“The meetings are not linked to these letters. Ties have always
existed and will probably exist in the future also. At this point,
however, there are no novelties in Armenian-Turkish relations,”
the Minister noted.
