    Turkey would welcome "positive gesture" by Armenia - spokesman

    Ankara, 1 June: Turkish Ministry of Foreign Affairs spokesman Namik
    Tan has said assessment of Armenian head of state Robert Kocharyan's
    reply letter had been continuing and Armenia's "positive statements
    and gestures would affect" this assessment.

    Tan told weekly press conference that result of the assessment would
    be publicly announced, adding: "However, it is clear that future
    positive statements and gestures would affect this assessment."

    Tan recalled that a newspaper had claimed that relations between
    Turkey and Armenia would be suspended, stressing: "However, it is
    out of question because there are not any relations between the
    two countries."

    Turkish Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdogan proposed establishment
    of a joint delegation of Turkish and Armenian historians to deal with
    the events of 1915.

    President Kocharyan responded the proposal saying that the commission
    should have an intergovernmental status.
