My Turkish and Azerbaijani colleagues will also confirm that we have never gone this far towards each other. Armenian Foreign Minister Ararat Mirzoyan said this in an interview with the Turkish NTV television—and answering the question of whether now is the right time to establish peace, sign an agreement between Armenia and Azerbaijan, as well as normalize relations between Turkey and Armenia.

“I will answer, if you don't mind, in a little bit another way. I'm not sure whether the time is suitable or not. Probably, time is never suitable. But I'm confident, and you know, I will have the courage to say that I think that this consideration could be shared by my Turkish and Azerbaijani colleagues as well. So I'm confident that we have never gone this far towards each other. So I don't know whether the time is suitable or not. Moreover, I think that it can never be suitable. But if we evaluate where we are now, we can say that we have never been here, we have never been closer to final stability and peace," Mirzoyan said.
