normalization of ties with Armenia, dialogue between the countries
will be put to an end, Foreign Minister of Armenia Edward Nalbandian
said, APA reports quoting Panarmenian.

He stressed that Armenia’s position on the issue remains unchanged.

for the reopening of borders with Armenia, we will regard it as the
end of the dialogue," he said.
