Yerevan, 18 June: The political dialogue between Armenia and Turkey
is continuing, however, it has not resulted in a positive improvement
yet, Armenian Foreign Minister Vardan Oskanyan told reporters in
Yerevan today.

He added that the programme of the Armenian delegation which will
participate in NATO’s Istanbul summit does not envisage a meeting
with his Turkish opposite number Abdullah Gul.

Vardan Oskanyan said that no great importance should be attached to
various reports about the impending opening of the Armenian-Turkish
border. At the same time, the minister noted the importance of this
problem for Armenia and did not rule out that the opening of the
border was also “Turkey’s desire”.
