EU encourages Armenia and Turkey to remain committed to the process
of normalization and calls on both states to ratify and implement
the Protocols without preconditions and in a reasonable timeframe,
reads the statement by Catherine Ashton, EU High Representative for
Foreign Affairs and Security Policy.
"In this context, the EU welcomes the decision of the Armenian
President to submit both protocols to the parliament as well as the
recent declaration by the President of Turkey to remain committed
to the normalization of relations with Armenia. The European Union
believes that the full normalization of bilateral relations between
Armenia and Turkey would be an important contribution to security,
stability and cooperation in the Southern Caucasus. The EU will
continue to provide its political and technical support to this process
and stands ready to help implementing the steps agreed between the
two countries," the statement says.
Armenia-Turkey Protocols were signed in Zurich, October 10, 2009 to
be ratified by both countries' parliaments.
