Poland is ready to mediate Armenian-Turkish rapprochement, Polish FM
Anna Fotyga said during a press-conference in Yerevan today.

"We are ready to mediate between the sides rather than to represent
the interests of either of them," Fotyga said. She noted that Poland
has good relations with both Turkey and Armenia. Turkey recognized
our independence when Poland was having hard times. It is a special
situation but Poland is ready to help if both sides ask it to.

Armenian FM Vardan Oskanyan said that it is an interesting proposal
and Armenia will use it if need be. But such steps should not be an
end in itself, otherwise, they will give no results.
