Armenia sees no reason why Turkey should hesitate to open the border and establish diplomatic relations with Armenia, Vice Speaker of Parliament and Special Representative for Normalization with Turkiye, Ruben Rubinyan, told lawmakers on Monday.
“I don’t see a reason why Turkiye should hesitate in this matter, at least there is no issue of hesitation from the Armenian side. We are ready to have open borders and diplomatic relations even tomorrow. By the way, recently we established diplomatic relations with Pakistan, and this was also a very significant development. I hope we will take such a step with Turkiye as well,” he said.
Rubinyan said the process can be implemented very quickly in case of having political will.
“We definitely have that will, and I am sure it is possible to achieve big results in a short period of time,” he said.
Rubinyan said Armenia continues the normalization process with Turkiye without preconditions.
“We’ve numerously said that this process is taking place without preconditions. We don’t have any preconditions and we believe it is possible to have an open border and diplomatic relations very quickly. We will work in this direction,” Rubinyan added.
