/PanARMENIAN.Net/ NATO welcomes the process of Armenian-Turkish
reconciliation, said Robert Simmons, NATO special representative for
Caucasus and Central Asia.
"Normalization of Armenian-Turkish relations will be a stabilizing
factor for the regions suffering from frozen conflicts," he said.
"Armenian-Turkish reconciliation has two aspects: political and
economic. Despite absence of diplomatic relationship, Turkey and
Armenia have trade relations."
Asked about the Protocols, Mr. Simmons voiced hope they will be
ratified by the parliaments soon. As to the Nagorno Karabakh conflict,
he said, "Armenian and Turkish Presidents hold meetings and we hope
for progress."
