    /PanARMENIAN.Net/ Turkey's Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdogan has
    sent a congratulatory message to Tigran Sargsyan on appointment Prime
    Minister of the Republic of Armenia, the RA government's press office
    reported.

    The message states, in part,

    "Dear Mr. Prime Minister,

    On behalf of the Turkish people and myself, I extend to Your Excellency
    my congratulations on your appointment as Prime Minister of the
    Republic of Armenia.

    I am hopeful that during your tenure in office, our bilateral relations
    will reach such a standard as may promote peace, tranquility, stability
    and prosperity in the region.

    In our capacity of geographically next-door neighbors, we have a
    priority in respect of finding a definitive resolution to the problems
    available and building up good-neighborly relationship through dialog.

    I am convinced that as favored by this new stage following Armenia's
    presidential elections of February 19, 2008, as well as owing to
    Your Excellency's efforts, specific steps may be taken towards the
    settlement of our bilateral relations. With this in mind, I would
    like to stress that the proposals submitted to your side and which,
    to our firm belief, may facilitate the progress in this process,
    still stand on our agenda.

    I avail myself of this opportunity to wish good health and happiness
    to Your Excellency, as well as peace and prosperity - to the people
    of Armenia."

    As a follow-up to Mr Erdogan's congratulatory message, RA Prime
    Minister Tigran Sargsyan signed a communication in which he has
    referred to Mr.

    Erdogan's proposal on starting a dialog with a view to settling the
    bilateral relations. The Prime Minister of the Republic of Armenia
    stated in particular:

    "I wish to thank you for those congratulations and best wishes received
    on my appointment as Prime Minister of the Republic of Armenia.

    I am convinced that through personal contacts, we will be able to
    promote the settlement of any issue of mutual concern.

    I would like to reaffirm the willingness of the Armenian Government
    to initiate a constructive dialog and establish normal relationship
    between our two countries without pre-conditions.

    I strongly believe that together with you, we have a historical
    mission to complete by shaping an atmosphere of mutual confidence as
    otherwise it would be hard to enter into an open dialog and settle
    the existing problems. I can assure you that our endeavors will be
    aimed at establishing peace, tolerance and stability in the region.

    I avail myself of this opportunity to extend to Your Excellency the
    assurances of my highest consideration."
