/PanARMENIAN.Net/ On August 31 RA -Turkish relations reached
an important phase. The year started with a new stage of
relations. Despite difficulties, Yerevan and Ankara managed to
demonstrate political will to move forward, RA Foreign Minister Edward
Nalbandian told a news conference in Yerevan. "The world approves
of RA-Turkish rapprochement. Superpowers urged Turkey and Armenia to
move on and fulfill agreements entered within shortest terms. I hope,
we’ll make progress, as the rapprochement is supported by the whole
world," RA FM noted.
Edward Nalbandian also noted that though Yerevan and Ankara reached
an important phase, the process requires serious efforts. "Armenia
wants to normalize ties with Turkey. We’re ready to fulfill agreements
entered. Time will show if both parties will be able to fulfill them,"
RA FM stated.
Armenian government repeatedly stated that in case agreements are
reached between Armenia and Turkey, the agreements will be submitted
to public discussion. "Armenian people understand that eternal enmity
with Turkey is against our interests," RA FM emphasized.
