The European Union (EU) Special Representative for the South Caucasus and the crisis in Georgia, Toivo Klaar, reflected on Tuesday’s meeting between the Special Representatives for the normalization process between Armenia and Turkey: deputy speaker of the National Assembly of Armenia Ruben Rubinyan, and Ambassador Serdar Kilic of Turkey.

“Important meeting yesterday on Armenia-Turkey border between Serdar Kilic and Ruben Rubinyan. Normalisation of relations and the reopening of communications between Turkey and Armenia are essential elements for a more stable and prosperous South Caucasus,” Klaar wrote Wednesday on X—formerly Twitter.

As reported earlier, Ruben Rubinyan and Serdar Kilic on Tuesday held their fifth meeting on the Margara–Alican crossing on the Armenia-Azerbaijan border.

They reconfirmed the agreements reached at their previous meetings.

Furthermore, they agreed to assess the technical requirements to enable functioning of Akhurik/Akyaka railroad border gate in line with the regional developments as well as to simplify their mutual visa procedures for diplomatic/official passport holders.

Finally, they reemphasized their agreement to continue the normalization process without any preconditions towards achieving the ultimate goal of full normalization between their respective countries.
