/PanARMENIAN.Net/ Switzerland has been making it its general policy
to abstain from any comments on the normalization process between
Turkey and Armenia, according to Erik Reumann, a spokesman at Swedish
Foreign Ministry.

"We are committed to assisting the parties in their ongoing efforts.

We are looking forward to the ratification process being completed
as soon as possible, thus opening the way for the implementation of
the Protocols," he told PanARMENIAN.Net, commenting upon recent media
reports on Sweden’s allegedly disapproving RA Constitutional Court’s
decision over Armenia-Turkey Protocols.

The Protocols aimed at normalization of bilateral ties and opening of
the border between Armenia and Turkey were signed in Zurich by Armenian
Foreign Minister Edward Nalbandian and his Turkish counterpart Ahmet
Davutoglu on October 10, 2009, after a series of diplomatic talks
held through Swiss mediation.

Swedish Foreign Ministry: Switzerland has been making it its general
policy to abstain from any comments on the normalization process
between Turkey and Armenia.
