U.S. Congressman Robert Wexler, Co-Chair of the Turkish friendship
group in the U.S. House of Representatives, said Friday that
Turkey-Armenia relations were at a historic turning point, noting that
there was chance for normalization of relations.

Wexler, who visited Ankara and held meetings with Turkish officials
last week, talked about Turkish-Armenian relations at the Foreign
Affairs Committee.

Wexler said it seemed relations between Turkey and Armenia were at a
point of historic opportunity, noting that relations could be
normalized and border gates between Turkey and Armenia could be
opened.
