RA Foreign Minister: We have healthy dialogue with Turkiye, and we  are making progress

ArmInfo.Armenia is ready to fully normalize relations with Turkey and establish diplomatic  relations with it. Armenian Foreign Minister Ararat Mirzoyan stated at a briefing in Tbilisi, as reported by Sputnik Georgia.

"Armenia is ready to fully normalize relations with Turkiye and also  establish diplomatic relations. We also have agreements in connection  with this vision, and we are making progress. We have a healthy  dialogue with Turkiye, and we know that it is high time for that (to  normalize relations, ed. note)," Mirzoyan said.  There are no  diplomatic relations between Turkiye and Armenia, the border has been  closed since 1993 on Ankara's initiative. The complicated relations  between the countries are caused by a number of circumstances, in  particular, Ankara's support for the Azerbaijani position on the  Karabakh issue and Turkiye's sharp reaction to the process of  international recognition of the 1915 Armenian genocide in the  Ottoman Empire.
