/PanARMENIAN.Net/ Renowned singer Charles Aznavour said he was glad to
know that Turkish President Abdullah Gul finally decided to pay a
visit to Armenia.
`I would be happy to be in Armenia on such an important day but
unfortunately I have some health problems. Dear Mr President, I wish
you success in your mission for the glory of the Armenian people. I am
hopeful that a meeting with Turkish President will be an advance in
bilateral relations,’ Aznavour said in his message.
Gul will be in Yerevan on Sept. 6 to attend a World Cup qualifying
soccer game between the Armenian and Turkish national teams.
Ankara broke diplomatic relations and closed the border with Armenia
in 1993 over the Nagorno Karabakh conflict.
