/PanARMENIAN.Net/ "All NATO member states should have good relations
with neighbors. Turkey and Armenia should themselves normalize
relations," NATO’s Special Representative for the Caucasus and Central
Asia, Mr Robert Simmons said in an interview with PanARMENIAN.Net.

"The Alliance can’t exercise push and pressure policy.

Turkey is a NATO member country; Armenia participates in NATO
programs. Our organization can’t influence on relations between the two
states. I am hopeful that Armenia and Turkey will normalize relations
what will result in opening of the border," he said.
