    JAPAN TO AID ARMENIA IN CONFLICT SETTLEMENT

    Japan is ready to expand its political and economic cooperation with
    Armenia and assist Yerevan in resolving the Upper (Nagorno) Garabagh
    conflict and in further normalization of its strained relations with
    Turkey, the two governments announced after talks on Wednesday.

    "The sides highlighted the importance of expanding political dialog
    and economic relations between Japan and Armenia by supporting
    mutually beneficial initiatives in different areas of cooperation,"
    Japanese Foreign Minister Katsuya Okada and his Armenian counterpart
    Edward Nalbandian said in a joint statement seen by Russian state
    news agency ITAR-TASS.

    The Japanese government pledged to facilitate a peaceful Garabagh
    settlement "based on the principles and norms of international law."

    Tokyo also welcomed the process of reconciliation between Turkey
    and Armenia, which began with the signing in Zurich on October 10 of
    protocols on forging diplomatic ties and reopening their borders.

    Turkish officials have repeatedly said Ankara could mend ties with
    Yerevan and open the border only after the Garabagh conflict has been
    fairly resolved.
