"Council of Europe is infused into Armenia-Turkey reconciliation,"
CE Secretary General Thorbjorn Jagland said in the interview with
CNNturk TV.
Jagland emphasized that has high expectations of Turkey, particularly
in terms of country's regional role and Armenia-Turkey normalization
process.
He also attached significance to serious steps taken towards
Armenia-Turkey reconciliation. "I have no idea which effects the
process will bring about shortly, as there are political obstacles to
it. However, first moves were made and I am confident they are not
the last. The process might take 5-20 years, however, the fact that
Armenia and Turkey are neighboring states, should be considered,"
Jagland noted.
