High-level dialogue with Türkiye continues - Mirzoyan

Armenia is equally committed to normalizing relations with Türkiye in order to build security and promote cooperation in the region, Foreign Minister Ararat Mirzoyan said during his speech at Rio Branco Institute in Brazil.

According to Mirzoyan, Armenia considers the normalization of relations with Turkey crucial for regional peace and long-term stability.

“Some tangible progress is already registered with the establishment of direct flights and lifting of restrictions on air cargo transportation,” Mirzoyan said.

The Foreign Minister noted that  Armenia also has completed construction and technical preparations at the Margara border crossing point with Türkiye, which is now fully covered by the service of Armenia’s border forces. 

“This crossing has already been opened occasionally during recent years for humanitarian purposes. 

High-level dialogue continues, including meetings between the Prime Minister of Armenia and the Turkish President, as well as my discussions with the country’s Foreign Minister. We firmly believe that full normalization — establishing diplomatic relations and opening borders — would unlock significant opportunities for both our countries and the wider region.
