ArmInfo. Armenia will come off the Armenian-Turkish process with win
in any case, Foreign Minister of Armenia Edward Nalbandyan said in an
interview with Public TV of Armenia on March 5.

"One should just read the publications in the Turkish and
international press, listen to the statements by different countries
and international organizations, as well as read the analytical
publications in order to prove it once again. One who acts fairly,
always comes off the situation with win, and Armenia has always acted
just in this way in relations with Turkey, that is testified by
co-chairing-countries", he said. According to E. Nalbandy an, Armenia
has always did what it said, and if Turkey has some ulterior motives,
he would not like to comment on the possible consequences just for
Turkey in case if Ankara fails the Armenian-Turkish process. "If,
nevertheless, Turkey fails the process, Armenia will go back to the
positions before the events of September 6, 2008, in the worst
possible case, but having more strengthened its international
authority", Nalbandyan resumed.

The two countries lack diplomatic relations and their border has been
blocked since 1993. The ice in the relations broke up in September,
2008, when Turkish President Abdullah Gul visited Yerevan at the
invitation of Armenian president Serzh Sargsyan to watch Armenia vs.
Turkey match on Sept 6 2008. For his part the Armenian President
accepted the proposal of his Turkish counterpart to watch a return
match on October 14 2009.
