Armenian Foreign Minister, Edward Nalbandian, represented his country at the inauguration of the new President of Turkey, Recep Tayyip Erdogan in Ankara on Thursday (28 August). Nalbandian was one of the many international representatives at the inauguration. His presence was however significant, given that the two countries do not have diplomatic relations. Observers have hailed the presence of the head of the Armenian diplomacy at the inauguration as a possible signal of a new thaw in relations between the two countries.
