Attempts to link the normalization of Armenia-Turkey relations to the talks around the Karabakh issue will undermine both processes, Armenian President Serzh Sargsyan said in his speech at Chatham House, Royal Institute of International Affairs.

“I, however, believe that the rapid normalization of Armenia-Turkey relations can set an example of a proactive problem-solving attitude that will positively stimulate and set an example the resolution of the Karabakh conflict.

“I would like to take one step further and inform you that I am going to invite President Aliyev to the potential opening ceremony of the Armenian-Turkish border. I believe it can serve as an essential and in some ways exemplary measure for the region, which will clearly demonstrate how existing problems should be solved,” Armenian leader stated.
