Ankara-APA. Turkish Government received Armenian president Serzh
Sargsyan's letter to Turkish President Abdullah Gul and now it is
reviewing the invitation, said Burak Ozugergin, Spokesman for Turkish
Foreign Ministry at his weekly press-conference.
While responding the question about Sargsyan's invitation to Gul to
watch together the match Armenia-Turkey in Yerevan, the diplomat said
Ankara was informed about the Armenian president's statement that
`there is no real alternative to the establishment of normal relations
between the countries and mutual relations should have a new
start'. Ozugergin said: `We also agree with this idea. There was a
letter exchange after the elections in Armenia and the same points
were underlined. If it is true, we welcome Sargsyan's statements'.
In his interview to Wall Street Journal, Sargsyan said if Abdulla Gul
visits Armenia, they will announce a new symbolic start of
relations. In his opinion, establishment of normal political relations
will enable them to create a commission to comprehensively discuss all
complex issues affecting Armenia and Turkey. `Only through them we can
create an effective dialogue touching upon even the most contentious
historical issues', Sargsyan said.
