ArmInfo. It is time for Armenia and Turkey to solve their problems,
President of Armenia said during his speech at the 63rd session of
the UN General Assembly.

He said that Turkish President Abduallah Gul was also ready to solve
Armenian-Turkish problems. "I am sure that we must act quickly and
confidently in this direction," Sargsyan said.

He said that the last events in the South Caucasus had shocked
the region and had been a lesson or all. Sargsyan believes that the
major task of the UN GA is to adopt a single requirement against such
situations and to create a new effective safety system in the region
and in the whole world. The challenges that arose over the last decades
have been transformed so much that it is impossible to resist them by
the structures formed at the end of the World War II. Today regional
cooperation is a form of efficient reaction to challenges. Armenia has
always come out for encouraging such cooperation and we are sure that
the cooperation between the countries aimed at settlement of problems
is the best way. This needs open borders, cross ways of communication,
mutually connected economic systems. In case of global challenges,
states should join their efforts to ensure steady development.

There have always been and may be problems between the neighboring
countries and these problems can’t be solved if there is no dialogue",
Sargsyan said.
