RA President Serzh Sargsyan did not have a meeting with Turkish Foreign Minister Ahmet Davutoglu in Kiev, the RA presidential press service informed NEWS.am.

Both the Armenian President and Turkish FM attended the inauguration ceremony of Ukrainian President Viktor Yanukovych in Kiev. At the reception, the Ahmet Davutoglu approached the Armenian President and exchanged views with him.

Sargsyan stressed that progress requires political will, and Armenia believes that Armenia-Turkey relations' normalization has to follow to its logical end within the shortest period of time. Otherwise, Armenia will withdraw its signature from the Protocols. The Armenian President restated that involvement of Turkey in Nagorno-Karabakh peace process is impossible, as it rendering unilateral military assistance to one of the conflicting parties — Azerbaijan, making regular biased statements on the settlement process.

“A country dreaming of a region without borders must be the first to make moves and end the blockade of Armenia, which will enable opening of communication in the region. If Azerbaijan’s pressure prevents Turkish Parliament from ratifying the Protocols, nothing prevents the Turkish Executive — even before the ratification — from reopening the mutual border closed by itself,” the Armenian leader said.
