Pashinyan wants coordinated work in Turkey normalization process

PanARMENIAN.Net - Prime Minister Nikol Pashinyan has instructed Armenia's special envoy for the normalization of ties with Turkey to coordinate work with Ankara in order to implement agreements as soon as possible.

Pashinyan's remarks came days after Armenia and Turkey agreed to open the land border for citizens of third countries visiting the two nations.

"Now it is very important that our departments work with the relevant departments in Turkey, because but the implementation [of agreement] depends on that work," the PM said.

Armenia and Turkey last December named special envoys to discuss the normalization of ties. Four rounds of talks followed on January 14, February 24, May 3 and July 1.

During their last meeting, they also agreed on commencing direct air cargo trade between Armenia and Turkey at the earliest possible date and decided to initiate the necessary process to that effect.
