PanARMENIAN.Net - The Turkish Prime Minister said on Wednesday that an initialed deal with Armenia could be sent to the parliament soon, state-run news agency said.



Recep Tayyip Erdogan said he believed an initialed deal with Armenia could be brought to the Turkish parliament soon.



"We have reached an important stage with the step we have taken with Switzerland's mediation, and I believe we can send the initialed document to the parliament if we do not face any prejudice and if steps are not taken by just thinking about the internal politics," Erdogan told a conference at the Princeton University in New York.



Anadolu agency quoted Erdogan as saying that the document would be sent on October 10 or 11.



The Turkish prime minister said that the president of Armenia could visit Turkey for a World Cup qualifier between Turkey and Armenia in October with comfort as the Turkish president visited Armenia for an away match last year.



"Turkey will have neighborly relations with Armenia within the framework of mutual respect," he also said.
