ArmInfo. We sincerely welcome the current positive breakthrough in
Armenia-Turkey contacts, deputy Foreign Minister of Russia Grigory
Karasin said in an interview with Respublika Armenia newspaper.
According to him, Moscow considers signing of Protocols between Armenia
and Turkey on October 10 a remarkable event on the way to complete
normalization of Yerevan- Ankara interstate relations. 'The evidence
of our positive attitude to this process is participation of Russia's
Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov in the signing ceremony in Zurich',
Karasin emphasized.
'Both Armenia and Turkey are friendly countries for us, therefore,
we are interested in establishment of an atmosphere of good
neighbourliness between them. Recovery of the Armenian-Turkish
relations will lead to reactivation of bilateral economic contacts,
that, in its turn, will positively affect the social-economic situation
in both states. Settlement of relations between Yerevan and Ankara
will objectively contribute to reduction of tension, strengthening
of peace, security and stability in Transcaucasus.
Moreover, nothing from the Armenian-Turkish agreements can be
interpreted as damaging the third party', Karasin emphasized.
According to him, signing of the documents, which has become a result
of a purposeful and pragmatic joint work of the Armenian and Turkish
partners on settlement of complex issues, confirms the two country
authorities' aspiration to achieve establishment of good neighbourly
relations between them. Now, the parties have to ratify the Protocols
and start their implementation, Karasin said.
'Russia is ready to support the process through further implementation
of collaboration projects between Armenia and Turkey, specifically,
in the spheres of electrical energy and transport. INTER RAO UES OJSC
participates in electric energy supplies from Armenia to Turkey.
Russian Railways OJSC is ready to provide stable and functional
railway communication between the states. There are other promising
projects that will positively affect peoples' quality of life',
G. Karasin resumed.
