Normalization with Türkiye is highly important for regional peace and development, says Armenian PM

YEREVAN, NOVEMBER 18, ARMENPRESS. Prime Minister Nikol Pashinyan hopes that the agreement with Türkiyeon opening the land border for diplomatic passport holders and citizens of third countries will soon be realized.

“We are in dialogue with Türkiye. At least in the past we didn’t have such active dialogue, although we still don’t have any success in terms of establishing diplomatic relations,” Pashinyan said at the OSCE PA Autumn Meeting in Yerevan.

“But the normalization of Armenia’s relations with Türkiye is a highly important factor for the strategic vision of a peaceful, developing and safe environment of our region, South Caucasus. We hope to soon hear the news about the opening of the Armenia-Türkiye border for citizens of third countries and diplomatic passport holders, and this will be a very meaningful step,” Pashinyan said.
