Turkey’s foreign minister and the head of the French senate met in
the Turkish capital of Ankara on Wednesday.

Commenting on relations with Armenia, Davutoglu said that Turkey
"expected the normalization of its relations with Armenia as well as
the termination of the invasion in the Azerbaijani territory."

Davutoglu said France could have a remarkable contribution to the
issue.

Gerard Larcher, the head of the French Senate, expressed on Wednesday
his full support for Turkey’s Armenia reconciliation process, saluting
the country’s improvements in the field of democratization.

"The normalization of relations between Turkey and Armenia is important
for us. We want to establish the future. The dialogue between the two
people should be revived. The task of examining history should be left
to historians," Larcher told reporters at a joint press conference
with Parliament Speaker Mehmet Ali Å~^ahin.
