Turkish Foreign Minister Ali Babacan declared that his country is
interested in normalizing the relations with Armenia and anticipates
"concrete steps" from the opposing side. Ali Babacan said this in New
York, where he had arrived to drum up support at the United Nations
for Turkey’s bid for a non-permanent seat on the Security Council.

The Foreign Minister said Turkey’s President and Prime Minister sent
letters to their Armenian counterparts following the presidential
elections in Armenia, which aimed at "launching new dialogue with
the administration."

According to Ali Babacan, Turkey aspires to have no problems with
its neighbors and "of course we expect concrete steps from the
opposite side."
