Baku. Viktoria Dementieva - APA. "The European Union expresses
concern about the loss of momentum in the process of normalization
of Turkey-Armenia relations," High Representative of the European
Union for Foreign Affairs and Security Policy/Vice President of the
Commission Catherine Ashton says in her statement, APA reports.

The High Representative is pleased to note that Armenia remains
committed to pursue the process of normalization of Armenian-Turkish
relations but at the same time expresses concern about the loss of
momentum in this process. The EU reiterates its call to both countries
to continue their dialogue and remain committed to the process of
normalization without preconditions and in a reasonable timeframe. The
High Representative believes that the full normalization of bilateral
relations between Armenia and Turkey will contribute to security,
stability and cooperation in the Southern Caucasus.
