Процесс не остановился, а замедлился - секретарь Совбеза о ходе армяно- турецкой нормализации

АрмИнфо. Процесс не остановился, а замедлился. Подобным образом в ходе брифинга 24 сентября журналистам прокомментировал ход нормализации армяно-турецких отношений секретарь Совета безопасности Армении Ален Симонян.

Он связал это скорее с завершением существовавших до этого процессов по армяно-азербайджанским отношениям и прохождением, так называемой, точки невозврата. <По моей оценке, это вопрос ближайшего будущего>, - сказал Симонян. По его словам, нет никаких предпосылок полагать, что этот вопрос не будет решен или дополнительно затянется.

Он также обратил внимание, что в направлении открытия границы работа ведется не только с армянской, но и с турецкой стороны. В частности, как отметил секретарь Совбеза, восстанавливаются инфраструктура и связи, проходят встречи, совершаются визиты. <То есть процесс, который имеет положительную динамику>, - заметил чиновник.

Напомним, что о запуске процесса нормализации армяно-турецких отношений сообщил 13 декабря 2021 года тогдашний министр иностранных дел Турции Мевлют Чавушоглу. При этом он подчеркнул, что Анкара будет действовать в координации с Азербайджаном относительно шагов по нормализации отношений с Арменией. Стороны назначили специальных представителей Турции и Армении по процессу нормализации - Сердар Кылыч и Рубен Рубинян, которые уже провели несколько раундов переговоров.

В результате, с 1 января 2026 года вступил в силу визовый режим для владельцев служебных и специальных паспортов. В мае 2026 года спецпредставители подписали протокол о совместной реставрации исторического моста Ани.  Стороны подтверждают намерение ускорить реализацию договоренностей по пересечению границы для граждан третьих стран
