    Following the agreement between Armenia and Turkey, Thorbjørn Jagland,
    Secretary General of the Council of Europe, made the following
    statement:

    'I congratulate the Governments of Armenia and Turkey on the agreement
    to restore diplomatic relations and re-open the frontier between the
    two countries. This is a historic step, which should bring about a
    lasting reconciliation between the two countries and reinforce the
    stability of the South Caucasus region as a whole. I would like to
    pay tribute to the Swiss government - as well as the European Union,
    Russia, France and the United States - for their crucial role in
    negotiations that led to this event. No-one doubts that the full
    implementation of the yesterday's agreements will require time and
    sustained commitment from both parties. The Council of Europe is
    ready to help in this process, within its fields of expertise, and
    in full co-operation with the governments of Armenia and Turkey.'
