/PanARMENIAN.Net/ "The process of normalization of relations
between Armenia and Turkey requires patience and some creative
thought," Ambassador of Germany to Armenia Hans-Jochen Schmidt told
a press conference on November 13. According to him, signing of the
Armenian-Turkish protocols is an important step not only in terms of
normalization of Armenian-Turkish relations, but also in respect of
normalizing relations across the region. He also stressed that the
Protocols after being ratified may have positive influence on the
process of the Karabakh settlement.
"Early ratification of the protocols, in my opinion, would be
a positive step not only for Armenia, but also for Turkey," the
ambassador said, adding that Turkey should use this opportunity
through ratifying protocols to start playing a greater role in the
South Caucasus region.
