YEREVAN, APRIL 27, ARMENPRESS: The spokesperson of High Representative
of the Union for Foreign Affairs and Security Policy/Vice President of
the Commission Catherine Ashton has taken note of the decision by
Armenia to suspend the procedure of ratification of bilateral
protocols relating to the normalization of relations with Turkey.
"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.
According to her, 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.
"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 runs.
