    Ankara, September 1 (QNA) -- Armenia and Turkey will establish
    diplomatic relations and exchange diplomatic missions in less than
    one month and a half.

    This is envisaged by a protocol which is already initialled and will
    be signed upon the conclusion of inter-political consultations in
    both countries, reported the Russian /Itar-Tass/ News Agency Tuesday.

    Its text was published here on Monday by the press and information
    department of the Armenian Foreign Ministry simultaneously with a
    statement of the two countries' Foreign Ministries, as well as the
    Swiss Foreign Ministry which was a mediator in normalizing relations
    between Yerevan and Ankara.

    Armenia and Turkey confirmed their "mutual recognition of the existing
    border between the two countries by an agreement in accordance with
    international law" and underlined the importance of their decision
    to open the Armenian-Turkish border.

    Yerevan and Ankara announced their "resolution to refrain from pursuing
    the policy which doesn't correspond to the spirit of good-neighbourly
    relations." The sides stated their striving to "develop bilateral
    cooperation in the political, economic, cultural and other spheres."

    Yerevan and Ankara spoke out in favour of "formation and support
    between the two countries of the atmosphere of trust, strengthening
    of peace, security and stability in the whole region, abstention from
    the use of force or the threat of use of force, peaceful resolution
    of arguments."

    It is envisaged that diplomatic relations will be established as of the
    moment of signing of the protocol. It comes into force simultaneously
    with the protocol on bilateral relations between Armenia and Turkey
    since the first day of the month following the date of exchanging of
    instruments of ratification. (QNA)
