The closer Russia is to Turkey the faster RA-Turkish rapprochement will be reached
Development of Russian-Turkish relations will positively affect Armenian-Turkish ties, RA Ambassador to RF Armen Smbatyan told a PanARMENIAN.Net reporter in Stepanakert.

"The closer Russia is to Turkey the faster RA-Turkish rapprochement will be reached. Moscow is not opposed to opening of border between Armenia and Turkey," RA diplomat noted, adding that Russia is Armenia's security guarantor.
