    MOSCOW, August 26 (RIA Novosti) - Armenia's Foreign Minister will
    attend Turkish president-elect Recep Tayyip Erdogan's inauguration
    ceremony, according to a statement from Armenia's Foreign Ministry.

    "Armenian Foreign Minister Eduard Nalbandian is going to visit Turkey
    in order to attend Turkish president-elect's inauguration that will
    take place on August 28," the statement said.

    Earlier, Armenian President Serzh Sargsyan revealed the Turkish
    invitation and said that his country's representatives are likely to
    attend the ceremony.

    Sargsyan also mentioned that Nalbandian would use this occasion to
    clarify whether Erdogan will accept Armenia's invitation to take part
    in Yerevan commemorations of the 100th anniversary of the 1915
    Armenian genocide in the Ottoman Empire. The official ceremony will
    take place on April 24, 2015.

    Turkey refuses to acknowledge the Armenian genocide.

    No diplomatic relations exist between Turkey and Armenia, the
    Turkish-Armenian border has been closed since 1993.

    The relations between the two countries are tense mainly because
    Turkey openly supports Azerbaijan's position with regards to the
    Nagorno-Karabakh conflict.

    In 2008, the Armenian president initiated the process of diplomatic
    relations establishment between the two countries.

    In 2009, the "Protocol on the Establishment of Diplomatic Relations
    Between the Republic of Turkey and the Republic of Armenia" was signed
    by Turkish Foreign Minister Ahmet Davutoglu and his Armenian
    counterpart Eduard Nalbandian in the Swiss city of Zurich.

    The same year, Erdogan froze the agreement and made it clear that
    Ankara would not establish diplomatic relations with Yerevan and open
    its borders before the Nagorno-Karabakh conflict was resolved.

    The Nagorno-Karabakh conflict evolved from the war of 1988-1994
    between ethnic Azeri and Armenians who fought for the disputed lands
    of the Nagorno-Karabakh enclave. More than 35,000 people died in the
    war, but tensions in the region still remain.
