Armenian President Serzh Sargsyan considers that it is time to restore
relations between Yerevan and Ankara.
In his interview to Austrian Der Standard newspaper Serzh Sargsyan
noted that Armenia is ready to restore relations with Turkey without
any provisions.
"Armenia has always been loyal to its declared political line",
added the president, Interfax reports with reference to the press
service for the head of state.
He said "today there is a situation in our relations, which is not
profitable for anyone. I think there is no sense or need of being
eternal enemies".
The President considers that it is time to settle the Armenian-Turkish
problems and "this step will be mutually profitable for both parties".
"If you remember, Turkish Premier Erdogan noted several months ago
that doors are open for a new dialogue in this time period. I am
sure that we can have such a dialogue if we wish and the arrival
of Turkish President Gul to Armenia will further strengthen these
positive trends", noted Sargsyan.
