/PanARMENIAN.Net/ No charges are expected in the Armenian-Turkish
relations in the near future, Armenian Foreign Minister Vartan Oskanian
told a news conference in Yerevan.
"I met with new Turkish FM Ali Babacan in New York.
Each of us confirmed position of our states. We will continue meetings
at the level of Deputies to Foreign Ministers. However, I do not think
there will be any progress. For instance, Deputy Foreign Minister Arman
Kirakossian is currently in Istanbul participating in BSEC session,"
Mr Oskanian said.
Armenia and Turkey do not have diplomatic relations.
In 1993 Turkey closed the border with Armenia to support Azerbaijan
in Karabakh issue. Armenia is ready to establish relations with
Ankara without preconditions, however the latter urges Yerevan
to stop pressing for Armenian Genocide recognition and supporting
Nagorno Karabakh
