The Europe-Armenia Advisory Council issued an open letter, published
in the European media today, to call key European actors to be more
involved in the rapprochement between Armenia and Turkey. The process
risks to be marred by attempts to put preconditions to ratification
of the Armenia-Turkey protocols by tandem of Turkish and Azerbaijani
leadership, reads a press release published on the European Friends
of Armenia (EuFoA) official website.

In the open letter, the Europe-Armenia Advisory Council states that
it "calls upon all EU Institutions to intervene with all possible
instruments, including a high-level visit to the region, in order
to urge both sides to ratify the protocols without preconditions and
within a reasonable timeframe, which should not exceed two months."

The Europe-Armenia Advisory Council is a distinctive body created by
EuFoA to promote relations between Europe and Armenia. Composed of
leading European representatives from the political, business and
cultural spheres from across Europe, it provides guidance on all
major issues in these fields.

The full open letter is, amongst others, published in this week’s
edition of the Belgian-based The European Voice, is also available
on the organization’s website.
