"The agreement between Armenia and Turkey to normalize their relations
is excellent news," said Lluís-Maria de Puig, President of the
Parliamentary Assembly of the Council of Europe (PACE), reports the
press office of the Parliamentary Assembly.

"This is something that the Parliamentary Assembly of the Council of
Europe has long been hoping for, and working towards.

The two governments have accepted that, whatever the difficulties
of the past, they must look to the future – on behalf of all their
peoples.

The Assembly, a forum where Armenian and Turkish parliamentarians
work together as colleagues, stands ready to help in any way it can
to advance this process.

I look forward to the ratification of these two protocols by both
parliaments, beginning a new – and brighter – chapter in relations
between these two Council of Europe member states."
