    SWITZERLAND TO INTENSIFY ECONOMIC COOPERATION WITH TURKEY

    Switzerland and Turkey want to intensify economic cooperation,
    News.am reports.

    Swiss Economics Minister Johann Schneider-Ammann arrived in Ankara
    accompanied by some 15 businessmen on March 22 to discuss Swiss
    interests on the Turkish market. Schneider-Amman said after a meeting
    with his Turkish counterpart Zafer Caglayan that the two states have
    potential for cooperation.

    Turkey and Switzerland had tensions over recognition of the Armenian
    Genocide by Switzerland in 2003. Nonetheless, Switzerland was mediating
    in the Turkish-Armenian conflict, resulting in the signing of two
    protocols on normalization of relations in 2009.

    The process was frozen in spring 2010. Armenia blamed Ankara for
    unjust conditions for ratification. The Swiss minister confirmed
    readiness for renewal of mediation, should the two states start talks.
