The new Armenian authorities state that they are ready for talks with Turkey without preconditions; but our precondition is clear, Turkish Foreign Minister Mevlüt Çavuşoğlu said.

During his press conference, a reporter asked whether or not Turkey’s relations with Armenia will be normalized, Haber Türk reported.

“Would we [Turkey] make a move without taking Azerbaijan’s [respective] sensitivity into account?” Çavuşoğlu added in his response. “Simultaneous steps should be taken to normalize relations and resolve issues with both Azerbaijan and Turkey. The Karabakh issue, the issue of occupied lands needs to be resolved.”

Acting Prime Minister Nikol Pashinyan had announced that Armenia was ready to establish relations with Turkey without preconditions.
