Gul: Turkey committed to normalizing relations with Armenia

PanARMENIAN.Net - Turkish President Abdullah Gul said that his country is “firmly committed to pushing on with normalizing ties with Armenia.”

"It is evident that these subjects are not easily resolved," Gul said during his two-day visit to Switzerland, AFP reported.

"However, we maintain our firm commitment for the protocols, which aims for the normalization of Turkish-Armenian relationship, to enter into vigor," he said, referring to pacts signed between the two parties last October in Zurich.

"We will continue our efforts so that a sustainable and comprehensive peace would dominate in the Caucasus," he added.

Gul added that he hopes that Armenian President Serzh Sargsyan "continues with the same courage so that process could be crowned with success."
