Turkey says expects concrete steps from ArmeniaJuly 21, 2022 - 16:15 AMT PanARMENIAN.Net - Turkish Foreign Minister Mevlut Çavuşoğlu has said that Turkey expects concrete steps from Armenia in the process of normalizing relations between the two countries, Daily Sabah reports. "We want to see in practice how sincere Armenia is. So far there are messages, and there are explanations. There's also pressure, it's true. But when we come to concrete steps, we haven't seen those concrete steps from Armenia yet," he said. He added that Turkey wants to see steps from the Armenian administration under Prime Minister Nikol Pashinian. "The steps to be taken in the region are in everyone's interests," he added. Ankara and Yerevan last December appointed special representatives for talks on normalizing the ties, with the first meeting held in Moscow on Jan. 14. The parties have held four meetings so far. As part of normalization efforts, this February Turkey and Armenia resumed commercial flights after a two-year hiatus, as well as agreed to open the land border for the citizens of third countries.
