ArmInfo. Speaker of the National Assembly of Armenia Hovik Abrahamyan
has had a phone talk with newly elected PACE President Mevlet
Cavusoglu.

The press service of the NA reports that Abrahamyan congratulated
Cavusoglu on his election. Considering the fact that the Turkish
MP is the first politician of our region to have gained such a high
position, Abrahamyan urged him to show a sensitive and well-balanced
approach to regional problems during his two-year term of office.

Cavusoglu told Abrahamyan that the text of his interview published by
Azeri APA news agency contains statements he has never made. He assured
that the statements were result of mistranslation and misunderstanding.

APA’s interview quoted Cavusoglu as saying that the Azeri lands are
under occupation and that Nagorno-Karabakh problem is one of the
obstacles to the Armenian-Turkish rapprochement.

During their conversation Abrahamyan and Cavusoglu exchanged views
on the Armenian-Turkish dialogue and discussed the possibility of
Cavusoglu’s visit to Armenia.
