Yerevan-APA. Armenian Foreign Minister Edward Nalbandian took positive
position in the settlement of the relations with Turkey, APA reports
quoting Novosti Armenia.

The Minister stated that they had conducted many negotiations to open
the borders between the two countries and normalize the relations.

"I hope that we will regulate the relations, establish diplomatic
cooperation and open the borders soon," he said.

There is not any diplomatic relation between the two countries at
present and the borders have closed since 1993.

Progress in the relations between the sides started after the visit
of Abdullah Gul to Yerevan for watching the match between Armenian
and Turkish football teams on September 6, 2008.

“I should like to see any power of the world destroy this race, this small tribe of unimportant people, whose wars have all been fought and lost, whose structures have crumbled, literature is unread, music is unheard, and prayers are no more answered. Go ahead, destroy Armenia . See if you can do it. Send them into the desert without bread or water. Burn their homes and churches. Then see if they will not laugh, sing and pray again. For when two of them meet anywhere in the world, see if they will not create a New Armenia.” - WS
