    ARMENIA-TURKEY RELATIONS SHOULDN'T DEPEND ON THIRD COUNTRY'S INTERESTS

    /PanARMENIAN.Net/ Presidents and people of both Armenia and Turkey
    should take the opportunity provided by the FIFA draws to overcome
    the deadlock in bilateral relations, Armenian MP Armen Ashotyan told
    a PanARMENIAN.Net reporter.

    "Bilateral relations should never depend on a third country's
    interests. Our position is unchangeable: we stand for dialog without
    preconditions. Establishment of relations will have a positive impact
    of social and economic life in both countries. Given the increasing
    tensions in the region, the Armenian-Turkish relations should transform
    from latent confrontation to dynamic development," he said.

    In a sign of readiness to normalize ties, Armenian President Serzh
    Sargsyan invited his Turkish counterpart Abdullah Gul to a World Cup
    qualifying match between Armenian and Turkish teams due on September
    6. The invitation is likely to be accepted.

    Turkey cut its diplomatic ties and closed its border with Armenia
    over the Nagorno Karabakh conflict in 1993.
