Positive outcome of RA-Turkish process in both parties' interests
Protocols signed in Zurich are of primary importance for normalization of Armenian-Turkish ties, NAS Oriental Studies Institute Director Ruben Safrastyan told a Yerevan-Ankara-Moscow TV bridge on problems and realities of RA-Turkey rapprochement.

"I attach much importance to the fact that parties agreed to sign Protocols without preconditions. We do certainly realize that this is a rather complicated process, but I hope Yerevan and Ankara will keep up their political spirit," experts said, stressing that positive outcome was in both parties' interests.
