    TURKISH FM TO VISIT TO ARMENIA ON DEC. 12

    Turkish Foreign Minister Ahmet Davutoglu announced Thursday that
    he will pay a visit to Armenia on Dec. 12 in a bid to improve the
    strained relations between the two countries.

    Davutoglu told reporters in Ankara's Esenboga Airport that he will
    participate in the meeting of the Black Sea Economic Cooperation
    to be held in the Armenian capital of Yerevan during his visit to
    the country.

    Media has reported that Turkey has requested Switzerland's help in
    resolving the conflicts between Armenia and Azerbaijan so as to repair
    its own ties with Armenia.

    According to a report published by Zaman daily, Davutoglu told Swiss
    officials during a visit to Switzerland in mid-October that Turkey
    was ready to normalize its relations with Armenia.

    Davutoglu was clear, however, that Armenia should end its occupation
    of Nagorno-Karabakh, which is deemed as an Azerbaijani territory.

    Turkey closed its borders with Armenia after its armed forces captured
    Nagorno-Karabakh in 1993.

    In 2009, Turkey and Armenia signed a protocol to normalize ties but
    the process was halted after the document failed to be rectified by
    their respective parliaments.
