Turkish-Armenian relations have always been on different planes and
are not confidential, stated Foreign Minister Vardan Oskanyan June 8.
He was asked by news reporters to comment on recent information in
Turkish press about Turkish-Armenian secret negotiations. "There
have always been regular meetings, sometimes top level, sometimes
on a foreign minister level, sometimes on a deputy foreign minister
level. There are no secrets, there is a dialogue," says Vardan
Oskanyan. The minister disagrees with the observation in the Turkish
press that this relation was set up by the letter of Erdoghan and
Robert Kocharyan's answer. The Turkish-Armenian relations have nothing
to do with it, said Vardan Oskanyan, adding that there is no news
about progress in Turkish-Armenian relations.
Instead the foreign minister of Armenia commended the news about the
nuclear program of Iran, particularly the prospects for negotiating
the issue. Vardan Oskanyan said Armenia commends the willingness to
negotiate and is hopeful that the nuclear problem will be settled
peacefully.
