    TURKISH FM TO VISIT YEREVAN

    Trend
    March 2 2009
    Azerbaijan

    Turkish Foreign Minister Ali Babacan will visit Yerevan on April 16-17,
    Turkish newspaper Sabah reported.

    Babacan's visit will be held as part of a meeting of the Black Sea
    Economic Cooperation foreign ministers. Armenian Foreign Minister
    Edward Nalbandyan invited his colleague to the meeting one month
    ago. However, only now Babacan consented to the invitation.

    Turkey and Armenia are attempting to normalize their relations, which
    were severed in 1993. The reason for severing the diplomatic relations
    was Yerevan's anti-Turkish campaign aimed at recognizing the so-called
    "Armenian Genocide" and occupation of Azerbaijani territory.

    Turkish President Abdullah Gul accepted the proposal of Armenian
    President Serzh Sargsyan to visit Armenia to watch a football match
    between Armenia and Turkey on Sept. 6, as part of the European
    championship. After the visit, diplomatic efforts to normalize
    relations between the two countries have been underway.
