/PanARMENIAN.Net/ The negotiations, started in 2007 between Armenia
and Turkey, have neared the end, as informs Turkish Sabah. `Yerevan
and Ankara have agreed on establishing normal relations, and the
results of these negotiations are expected to be announced in April,
resulting in the opening of Armenian-Turkish border,’ as reports the
newspaper, emphasizing that Turkish authorities made it a condition
that the opening of Armenian-Turkish border will be possible after
April 24.

`The agreements reached in Bern provide the start for official
negotiations between Ankara and Yerevan regarding the establishment of
diplomatic relations and the opening of Embassies; the establishment
of double-sided committees on regulating Turkish-Armenian relations
and reviewing the problems of 1915 events by historians; the
discussions on the Kars treaty of 1921; the issue on the refusal of
territorial claims from Turkey, and also issues regarding the opening
of the border and establishing border trade,’ Sabah writes.

Another meeting was held between the diplomats of Armenia and Turkey
in September 2008. The deputy ministers of MFA, Turkey, Ertugrul
Apakan and Unal Chevikoz met with their Armenian colleagues in Bern,
where earlier private negotiations had been held in May and July.
