  Turkey: Azerbaijan to be "indirectly" involved in Armenia rapprochement December 18, 2021 - 14:33 AMT PanARMENIAN.Net - Turkish Foreign Minister Mevlut Cavusoglu has said that Azerbaijan will be "indirectly" involved in proposed normalization talks with Armenia, Sputnik Turkey reports. "After representatives are mutually appointed, they will get in direct contact and decide how and where to meet. It would not be correct to predetermine what the representatives will talk about, but priorities can be set, and a roadmap will be established," Cavusoglu said when returning from a trip to the United Arab Emirates. "Azerbaijan will be indirectly present in the process. Steps are being taken in coordination, so it won't be a surprise for Azerbaijan. Both Russia and the United States support this process. We will decide together with Azerbaijan on the opening of the border." Cavusoglu said earlier Ankara and Yerevan will appoint special envoys soon to discuss steps to normalize relations, as well as launch charter flights from Istanbul to Yerevan. A spokesperson for the Armenian Foreign Ministry later welcomed the Turkish foreign minister’s announcement.   Top stories Six total incidents have burned 19 old-growth trees.
