In response to the request for commenting on the Turkish Foreign
Minister’s statements the Armenian President’s staff informed
yesterday that in Kiev the Armenian President didn’t receive the
Turkish Foreign Minister.

In the number of other invited officials A. Davutoglu attended the
official inauguration ceremony of Ukraine’s president-elect Victor
Yanukovich where he approached and exchanged views with RA President
Serzh Sargsyan.

President Sargsyan has stressed that for moving forward political will
is required and Armenia considers that the present process should
be brought to an end in a very short time limits, otherwise, as it
was stated beforehand, the Armenian Republic will halt the protocol
signing process.

The RA President has repeated that in the NKR settlement process
the involvement of Turkey is impossible, as it is a country which
shows a military support to one of the opposite sides, to Azerbaijan,
and always makes biased statements on the conflict settlement process.

"The country which dreams about a region without borders should make
the first step by itself and abolish the blockade of the Armenian
border, which will allow opening the communication and transport
substructures of the region. If the Azerbaijani depressions do not
allow the Turkish Parliament to ratify the protocols than there is
nothing that disturbs the Turkish executive bodies to reopen the
closed border between of the two states, even before the ratification
of the protocols", – President Sargsyan told to his interlocutor,
the press service of the RA President informs.
