PanARMENIAN.Net - Foreign Minister Ararat Mirzoyan hopes that substantive discussions will begin on the opening of the Armenia-Turkey border.

"The first meeting of the special representatives of Armenia and Turkey was of informative nature. I hope that this time substantive discussions will start between the two special representatives, discussions aimed at opening the Armenia-Turkey border and establishing diplomatic relations," Mirzoyan told lawmakers on Wednesday, February 9.

"I'd like to repeat once again that the signals, messages and hints coming from Ankara are mostly positive, and our expectations are the same," he said.

The envoys held their first meeting on January 14 Moscow, Russia, in what the Armenian Foreign Ministry described "a positive and constructive atmosphere". The next meeting of the special representatives in the normalization process will take place on February 24 in Vienna.
