Armenia expects that as a result of the dialogue process with Turkey, diplomatic relations will be established between Armenia and Turkey, and the border between the two countries will be opened. This was stated by Vahan Hunanyan, press secretary of the RA Ministry of Foreign Affairs.
Hunanyan also emphasized that in the Armenian side’s impression, the Turkish government also shares the approach of starting a dialogue without preconditions.
According to Hunanyan, Armenia’s expectations from that dialogue are the same as they have been since the early 1990s. “We expect that as a result of the process, diplomatic relations will be established between Armenia and Turkey, and the border between the two countries, which was unilaterally closed by Turkey in the early 90s, will be opened.”
Hunanyan said that the meeting of the special representatives of Armenia and Turkey will take place in Moscow at the hospitality of the Russian side. “In essence, this first meeting will have a cognitive nature. It is difficult to expect that as a result of one meeting it will be possible to have tangible results, but it will give the start of the process.”
