Parliament to hold hearings on Armenian-Turkish relationsApril 19, 2022 - 17:17 AMT PanARMENIAN.Net - The National Assembly will hold hearings on Armenian-Turkish relations. The hearings have been initiated by the opposition Armenia bloc. The special sitting will be held on April 21. Turkey and Armenia last December named special envoys to discuss the normalization of ties. Two rounds of talks followed on Jan. 14 and then Feb. 24. The next meeting is slated to be held in Vienna although no date is available for now. Foreign Ministry spokesperson Vahan Hunanyan said earlier that Armenia has suggested that Turkey open the land border for holders of diplomatic passports as a first step, but Ankara is hesitating. Hunanyan's comments came after Turkish Foreign Minister Mevlut Cavusoglu urged Yerevan to take more “bold steps.” Cavusoglu said there was no reason why meetings between the special representatives of the two countries are not held in Turkey or Armenia.
