The Foreign Ministry has said that Turkey wanted to establish a kind
of relationship with Armenia, which should exist between two
neighbouring countries.
Foreign Ministry spokesman Namik Tan said in response to a question
that Turkey was determined to create a peace, order, and stability
belt in her region in line with its traditional foreign policy
principles. In that context, he said, there was a desire to establish
a kind of relationship with Armenia that should exist between two
neighbouring states.
Tan went on saying: "Turkish and Armenian officials at various levels,
including their foreign ministers have been holding meetings on
different international platforms for a long time. Bilateral and
regional issues concerning both countries are discussed in those
meetings. Recent media reports about the meetings between Turkish and
Armenian officials actually highlighted those meetings held during the
process in question."
Reports appearing in some dailies today said that secret talks were
being held between a Turkish delegation led by Ahmet Uzumcu, Deputy
Under Secretary in the Turkish Foreign Ministry, and Ertan Tezgur,
Turkey's Ambassador in Tbilisi, and an Armenian delegation.
