ArmInfo. President of Armenia Serzh Sargsyan has sent a message to
President of Turkey Abdullah Gul. To note, the Armenian president
left for London this morning on a three-day working visit.
As the presidential press service told ArmInfo, S. Sargsyan's message
says, in particular: "Flying over the territory of Turkey, I welcome
you and the people of the neighbouring Turkey. Our initiative
on settlement of relations between Armenia and Turkey is in the
center of attention of the world community. The moment is really
historical, and this is realized not only by us but by the whole
world as well. The efforts of the powers, involved in the region,
are invaluable in settlement of bilateral relations. I am sure that
it would be difficult to advance without their mediation. Along with
it, I think however much interested the friendly countries are in a
positive outcome of the process, they cannot do what our two peoples
are able to do.
I think you will agree that the leading part in breaking the
stereotypes in relations between the Armenian and Turkish peoples,
as well as in formation of an atmosphere of mutual trust has been
assigned to the authorities. We can achieve results only due to the
belief in our work, decisiveness and fidelity to the principals.
Otherwise, when the world and work disagree, it causes distrust,
enabling the process opponents to act. We must realize that the
time, in this case, does not contribute to the process but makes
it senseless.
If, at this moment, we succeeded to bring out the bilateral contacts
to such a level that a prospect of building of normal relations
between our countries has become visible and tangible, now it has
become necessary to show decisiveness and make a large step forward,
as well as transfer a secure and stable region to our descendants.
Assuring you of my highest esteem".
