“Armenia is always ready to launch the process of normalizing relations with Turkey without any preconditions, which is stated in the Armenian government’s program,” Armenian Foreign Ministry Spokesperson Vahan Hunanyan said

YEREVAN, December 14. /TASS/. Armenia hails Turkish Foreign Minister Mevlut Cavusoglu’s statement on the appointment of a special representative to normalize relations with Yerevan and will assign its own envoy to start a dialogue, Foreign Ministry Spokesperson Vahan Hunanyan stated on his Facebook page on Tuesday.

“Armenia is always ready to [launch] the process of normalizing relations with Turkey without any preconditions, which is stated in the Armenian government’s program. So, we positively view the statement made by the Turkish Foreign Minister regarding the appointment of a special representative to normalize relations and confirm that the Armenian side will also appoint its own envoy to start the talks,” the spokesperson noted.

On Monday, the Turkish top diplomat said that Ankara and Yerevan would appoint special representatives to normalize relations in the near future.

Although Armenia and Turkey share a common border, there are no diplomatic ties between them. In 2009, the countries’ foreign ministers signed protocols on the establishment of diplomatic relations in Zurich, however, these documents were not ratified by the parties. On March 1, 2018, Armenia announced the cancellation of the protocols.

Emil Lazarian: “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
