ArmInfo.In an interview factor.am. Toivo Klaar, EU Special Representative for the South Caucasus and the crisis in Georgia, stated that the Armenian and  Turkish FMs' meeting was important and promising. 

"It was the first such meeting over a very long time, and already  that in itself is important. Of course, results are also important.  But sometimes the result is already the meeting itself. Of course, in  the last months we have seen meetings of the representatives, Mr  Rubinyan's meeting with his Turkish counterpart. And I believe, the  European Union believes that these contacts between Armenia and  Turkey are very important. And so a meeting of the foreign ministers  was very important in itself. It is also, of course, important to  move forward and then have specific results, such as the opening of  borders. That is what the European Union has called for. The EU's  expectations are that these are the first steps toward the  normalization of relations. And this is, of course, what we would  like to see," Mr Klaar.
