Turkey, Armenia to appoint envoys in bid to normalize ties

ANKARA: Turkey and Armenia will appoint special representatives to discuss steps to normalize their ties, Turkey’s foreign minister said.

Speaking in parliament during a debate over his ministry’s budget late Monday, Mevlut Cavusoglu also said charter flights between Istanbul and Yerevan would restart soon.

“We have consulted with Azerbaijan. Soon, we will mutually appoint special representatives with Armenia for the steps toward normalization and we will act together with Azerbaijan at every step,” Cavusoglu told parliament.
