Armenia-Turkey

Star newspaper, Turkey, referring to the interview of Armenian
President Serge Sarkisian to Standard newspaper, Austria, says that
Armenia is waiting for the arrival of Turkish President Abdullah Gul
in Armenia on September 6.

Then Star cites the following words of Serge Sarkisian, "None of the
sides has any profit from the present states of the Armenia-Turkey
relations. Both the parties equally suffer. The bilateral confrontation
is not possible any more. It does not help to solve the problems. It
is already time so suggest a solution. Taking some steps in that
direction will be right in the interests of the peoples of Turkey
and Armenia. Months ago Turkish Prime Minister Erdogan said that his
country is ready for new dialogue."

The Armenian President, as reported by Star, said that the dialogue
is possible only if the political leaders of both the sides show
political initiative. That is why the invitation of Abdullah Gul to
Yerevan is so important.
