TURKISH EMBASSY IN AZERBAIJAN ON SECRET TALKS WITH ARMENIAN DIPLOMATS
The Turkish embassy in Azerbaijan has just circulated a statement
regarding secret meetings between the Ankara government and Armenian
diplomats [in Switzerland’s Bern between 8-11 July]. The embassy said
in its statement that Turkey recognized Armenia as a state in
1991. There were contacts between the two sides from time to time
within this framework. The contacts between the employees of the two
countries’ foreign ministries also refer to this, [the statement
said].
The embassy believes that it is not worth to seek for a distinct
meaning in such meetings between the Armenian and Turkish diplomats.
