/PanARMENIAN.Net/ Turkish Foreign Minister Ahmet Davutoglu said on
Thursday there was no interruption in normalization process with
Armenia.
"Normalization process continues since April 22 joint statement
and there are ongoing direct or indirect contacts. There is
no interruption in course of the talks. We are doing our best for
solution of problems," Davutoglu, currently on a formal visit to the
United States, told reporters that.
Davutoglu said Turkish-Armenian relations had an important role in
Turkish-U.S. relations due to the developments in U.S. Congress,
"Turkey's policy is very open. U.S. executives appreciate this
policy. Turkey favors tranquility, peace and welfare to prevail in
South Caucasia. Turkey is eager to normalize relations with Armenia
within the scope of good relations with our neighbors. However, a
similar normalization is necessary in conflict between Armenia and
Azerbaijan for a lasting and comprehensive normalization."
Responding to a question on probability of opening of Turkish-Armenian
border within a year, Davutoglu said this depended on the
developments. "It may be misleading to set a time or give details
when the process is underway," he added, AA cited Davutoglu as saying.
