Turkey and Armenia are at the beginning of a "long process" toward
normalizing relations, Turkish Foreign Minister Ahmet Davutoglu
said Tuesday.

"It is a long process," Davutoglu said in an interview with Turkey’s
NTV television during a visit to northern Cyprus. "But every long
process has a beginning."

"We have lived through some bitter experiences but we have to also
remember the beautiful episodes of our joint history," he said.

Davutoglu said the rapprochement with Yerevan is part of Turkey’s
wider policy of "zero problems" with neighbors.
