Vienna will host next Armenia-Turkey meeting, says Cavusoglu

PanARMENIAN.Net - Turkish Foreign Minister Mevlut Cavusoglu has revealed that the third meeting between the special representatives of Yerevan and Ankara will be held in Vienna.

Apeaking on NTV, Cavusoglu said that concrete steps will be taken along with confidence-building measures.

“Our special representatives are in contact. The third meeting will again be in Vienna.”

Weighing in on the meetings being held in a third country, Cavusoglu said that there is no reason why they are not held in Turkey or Armenia and urged Yerevan to take more “bold steps.”

“You (Armenia) might be under pressure. This is not an easy process. We see that part of the diaspora is not supporting this normalization, especially the diaspora in France and the United States. Is there still a need to meet a third country? From one side you say relations should normalize, borders should be opened, on the other side you do not dare to meet in Turkey or Armenia,” Cavusoglu said, according to Daily Sabah.

“If you can’t come to Turkey to meet, how will we take steps on other issues?” he asked, saying that Turkey had proposed meeting in Yerevan but Armenia insisted on a third country.

He also mentioned that Turkey supports the normalization between Azerbaijan and Armenia.
