    Turkey plans Istanbul-Yerevan direct flights, considers Azerbaijan

    30 November 2008 | 13:32 | FOCUS News Agency


    Ankara. Turkey plans to schedule direct flights from Istanbul to
    Armenia's capital Yerevan in order to boost the recent process of
    renewed relations between the two countries, Hurriyet reports on
    Sunday.

    The progress of this plan is directly connected to Armenia's attitude
    in relation to Turkey and Azerbaijan, Hurriyet Daily said citing
    unnamed sources.

    According to report, Ankara will also take Azerbaijan's attitude on
    the issue of direct flights consideration. "No concrete decision has
    been taken as yet. The issue should be assessed as a mental exercise,"
    sources were quoted as saying in the report.

    Turkey and Armenia have no diplomatic ties and their border has been
    closed for more than a decade, as Armenia presses the international
    community to admit the so-called "genocide" claims instead of
    accepting Turkey's call to investigate the allegations, and Armenia's
    invasion of 20 percent territory of Azerbaijan.
