/PanARMENIAN.Net/ The "road map" is not yet an agreement between
Armenia and Turkey. As a guideline, it just declares Yerevan and
Ankara’s intention to normalize bilateral ties, RA Deputy Foreign
Minister Karine Kazinyan told today’s news conference, adding that
the document will be introduced to public only after full elaboration
and RA Government’s decision on publicizing its contents.

With regard to possibility of Armenian-Turkish border opening,
Mrs. Kazaryan stressed that Armenia can no longer remain in isolation,
while border opening requires normalization of bilateral ties.

On April 23, Armenian and Turkish Foreign Ministers reached agreement
on normalization of bilateral ties. The document was signed through
intermediary of Swiss Foreign Ministry.
