Давутоглу посетит Армению в ближайшие дни. Визит министра иностранных дел Турции является признаком постоянного интереса к нормализации армяно-турецких отношений

Министр иностранных дел Турции Ахмед Давутоглу на следующей неделе посетит Армению в знак того, что и Армения, и Турция продолжают поиск путей нормализации их отношений.

Давутоглу заявил, что он принял приглашение Армении для участия в заседании Организации Черноморского экономического сотрудничества (ОЧЭС) в Ереване, 12 декабря.

"Турция является одним из членов-учредителей организации. Штаб-квартира организации находится в Стамбуле, где Армения, которая является членом организации, также имеет своего представителя. Я получил приглашение и решил принять его после консультаций с президентом", сказал Давутоглу журналистам на пресс-конференции в Анкаре.

В то же время, согласно турецким СМИ, Давутоглу встретился вчера со своим армянским коллегой Эдвардом Налбандяном в ходе заседания Совета министров ОБСЕ в столице Украины, Киеве. Он также провел встречи со своим азербайджанским коллегой Эльмаром Мамедъяровым и министром иностранных дел России Сергеем Лавровым.

Турция и Армения были близки к восстановлению дипломатических отношений в 2009 году после подписания ряда соглашений, направленных на нормализацию отношений между ними. Однако, соглашения так и не были ратифицированы. Азербайджан оказал давление на Турцию, с целью блокировать эти соглашения пока не будет достигнут прогресс в процессе урегулирования нагорно-карабахского конфликта. Армянская диаспора в свою очередь критиковала правительство Армении из-за нормализации отношений с Анкарой без предварительного признания зверств в Анатолии в первой половине 20-го века в качестве геноцида.
