Armenian-Turkish relations should be reconsidered and restarted
History should be analyzed by historians, EU foreign policy chief said.

"I really believe that history is history. I don't think we need to put the past every day on the table. History needs to be analyzed by historians. The relations between countries, Armenia and Turkey in this case, need to be reconsidered and restarted," Javier Solana said.

Attaching importance to Obama's upcoming visit to Turkey, he said the visit has the purpose of conveying a very strong message that Turkey is and should be an important player in the international community, Today's Zaman reported.
