Armenia’s President Serzh Sargsyan has sent a message to his Turkish
counterpart Abdullah Gul, a spokesperson to Presidential Administration
said.

"Flying over Turkey, I send my greetings to Abdullah Gul and
neighboring Turkey’s people.

"Our initiative to normalise relations between Armenia and
Turkey is the focus of international communities. The moment is
really historical, and both we and the world realize this. We are
highlighting the efforts that the countries, involved in the process
of reconciliation, have been making. I believe that it would be
difficult to success without their mediation. At the same time, I think
that however the friendly countries are interested in the positive
resolutions to the process they cannot do that what our peoples can.

"Mr. President, I think, you’ll agree that in the process of
establishing trust and stereotype-free relations between the Armenian
and Turkish peoples, the governments mostly play an especial role. We
can success only believing in our work; and only standing resolutely
and in principles. Otherwise, in case of a gap between words and
doings, the uncertainty and mistrust appear letting the opposing
against the process forces come through. So we must recognize that in
this case time does not assist, but makes little sense for the process.

"As we turn out well in developing the bilateral relations up to the
level of visible and sensible future of the natural relations between
our countries, it’s time to demonstrate the determination to take a
great step forward, and to create a stable and secure region for our
next generations," said President Sargsyan in his message.

It’s worth mentioning, that President Serzh Sargsyan is on the way
to Great Britain, according to spokesperson’s report.
