YEREVAN, JUNE 26, ARMENPRESS. Armenia will soon complete the restoration of infrastructures in Margara and hopes that Turkey will likewise adhere to the agreement on opening the land border for diplomatic passport holders and citizens of third countries, Vice Speaker of Parliament and Armenia’s Special Representative for Normalization with Turkey Ruben Rubinyan has said.
“The last agreement was the following: that in the beginning of the tourism season the land border should get opened for citizens of third countries and diplomatic passport holders. The Armenian side is working to restore the relevant infrastructures in Margara, we will complete it very soon. And we hope that the Turkish side will also adhere to the agreement, and that the agreement will be implemented this summer,” Rubinyan told reporters on June 26.
The process hasn’t stalled, Rubinyan added, noting that he maintains contact with his counterpart in Turkey Serdar Kilic whenever needed. There’s no agreement on a new meeting yet.
“It’s very important for this agreement to be implemented. When there’s a lack of trust in such processes, it is highly important for agreements to be implemented. If implemented, trust would increase, if not, it would naturally decrease,” Rubinyan said.
