"Ankara believes that it would be extremely beneficial to divert
Turkish-Armenian relations into a new channel with the protocols,
thereby starting diplomatic relations between the two countries,
followed by the opening of the common border and the start of an
exchange between them," Nabi Sensoy, Turkish Ambassador to the U.S.
said in an interview with Trend News.

"We think that this will prove useful not only to the bilateral
relationship between Turkey and Armenia, but also in terms of making
positive contributions to the peace, stability and security in the
South Caucasus, especially in the region rife with ‘frozen’ problems,"
the ambassador added.

Touching upon the Karabakh issue, he said "Turkey will continue its
efforts aimed at active encouragement of the final solution of the
conflict."
