Armenian PM stresses importance of dialog with Turkey

YEREVAN, March 12. /ARKA/. Dialogue with Turkish President is very important for Armenia, Prime Minister Nikol Pashinyan said.

"Something very important is happening in our relations with Turkey ... We are talking to each other and I believe that we have a dialog with the Turkish President. This dialog is very difficult. It is not easy for us, but it is very important that we have it," Pashinyan said at a press conference on Tuesday.

According to him, it is rather strange when two countries that share a border are deprived of dialog. In Armenia, as the prime minister noted, Turkey is perceived through the prism of relations with Azerbaijan, but not as a neighboring country.

"Meanwhile, we should have an appropriate agenda in relations with Turkey, and we do. It is a pity that this agenda is not realized with due speed," he emphasized.

Asked whether he sees a trend or an attempt by the West to involve Turkey in the Armenian-Azerbaijani settlement process, Pashinyan noted in particular that even when Armenian authorities hold one-on-one talks with Azerbaijan, Turkey's presence is "felt." --0--
