    ARMENIAN MINISTER CITES PROGRESS IN TIES WITH TURKEY


    Armenian Foreign Minister Eduard Nalbandian has said there was
    progress in the normalization of relations between Armenia and Turkey,
    which have been marred by tensions for many years. Nalbandian dodged a
    question whether or not the two countries intended to sign an
    agreement on re-opening their shared border, which has been shut since
    1993. He only said that improvement of bilateral ties, the border
    opening and restoration of relations between the Armenian and Turkish
    people was a matter of time. Turkey closed its border with Armenia due
    to the neighboring countrys policy of occupation against Azerbaijan
    and Armenian claims regarding the alleged World War I-era
    genocide. However, there have been signs of normalization in
    Ankara-Yerevan ties of late.
