    France urges Armenia, Turkey to continue diplomatic discussions

    YEREVAN April 23


    French President Nicolas Sarkozy has called on the Armenian and
    Turkish authorities to continue their discussions on settling
    bilateral relations.

    "France is calling on Armenia and Turkey to continue discussions and
    to double their efforts to implement the Armenian-Turkish protocols,
    which would be a significant contribution to the cause of bringing
    peace and safety to the region," Sarkozy was quoted as saying in a
    statement by the French Embassy in Armenia.

    Sarkozy welcomed the Armenian leader's willingness to stabilize
    Armenian-Turkish relations despite the difficulties both sides faced
    during the ratification of the Armenian-Turkish protocols signed in
    Zurich on October 10, 2009.

    Armenian President Serzh Sargsian signed a decree last Thursday,
    terminating the ratification of the protocols on establishing
    diplomatic ties and bilateral relations.

    In addition, in his address to the people of Armenia, Sargsian
    announced that the country would withdraw from the process of
    stabilizing relations with Turkey at its current stage.
