Turkey, Ankara, 26 September / TrendNews corr. T.Aliyev / "It is high
time to solve our problems with Turkey," Armenian President Serzh
Sargisyan said.

Sargisyan spoke about Turkish President Abdullah Gul’s Yerevan visit
during his speech at the United Nations (UN) General Assembly in New
York. "We hold the same views with President Gul on not passing the
current problems to future generations," the Armenian President said.

Sargisyan stressed that he would settle problems with neighboring
countries through dialogue, the Turkish NTV channel reported.

Sargisyan indirectly touched upon the so-called "genocide" matter. "The
60th anniversary of the agreement on prevention genocides is marked
in 2008. Such anniversaries are too important for the nations, which
underwent genocide, as us," the Armenian President said.

Meanwhile, Eduard Nalbandyan, Ali Babacan and Elmar Mammadyarov,
the Foreign Ministers of Armenia, Turkey, Azerbaijan will hold a
trilateral meeting on 26 September. Babacan, who met with Mammadyarov
on 25 September, plans to hold a 45-minute meeting with his Armenian
counterpart for diplomatic ethics before the trilateral meeting.
