/PanARMENIAN.Net/ Turkey and Azerbaijan can normalize relations with
Armenia, according to the Turkish Foreign Minister.

"We have a good chance to normalize relations and we should not miss
it," Ali Bacacan was quoted by Cihan news agency as saying.

Armenian Foreign Minister Edward Nalbandian will be in Istanbul
on November 24 to attend a meeting of the BSEC secretariat and to
present Armenia’s plan of activities in the tenure of its presidency
in the organizations.

The Armenian Genocide will be in focus of talks between Minister Ali
Babacan and his Armenian counterpart, Burak Ozugergin, a spokesman
for the Turkish Foreign Ministry said Thursday.

"Everything is on the table," Ozugergin said. "We are not precluding
anything. The Ministers will take up bilateral issues, including the
1915 events and perhaps regional issues that could include relations
with Azerbaijan."
