/PanARMENIAN.Net/ It’s gratifying to see Armenian-Turkish talks
getting off the ground, EU Envoy for the South Caucasus said.
"Opening of the Armenian Turkish border will be the first step to
change the abnormal situation in the region where three of the longest
borders are closed," Peter Semneby said.
Commenting on ratification of Armenia-Turkey protocols, he said,
"Ratification is advantageous for both states. Moreover, it’s in the
interests of Azerbaijan as well. The war in Georgia proved that South
Caucasian countries are vulnerable. Consolidation is possible through
resolution of the persisting problems only."
Mr. Semneby emphasized that Armenia is not interested in status quo.
"Uncertainty can’t last eternally," he said.
He also remarked that Russia’s recognition of South Ossetia and
Abkhazia complicated resolution of Karabakh problem, Kommersant
Daily reported.
