ArmInfo. Yerevan has not yet made a decision to participate in the diplomatic forum to be held in Turkey's Antalya on March 11-13, Armenian Foreign Minister Ararat Mirzoyan said on March 2 during a government hour in parliament.

Mirzoyan positively assessed the results of the second meeting of the Special Representatives of Armenia and Turkey - Vice-Speaker of the National Assembly of the Republic of Armenia Ruben Rubinyan and former Ambassador to the United States Serdar Kilic held on 24 February in Vienna. According to the minister, the parties confirmed that the negotiation process is proceeding without preconditions, and the ultimate goal is the normalization of relations and the opening of the border. "The discussion was much more specific than at the first meeting. But at the same time, we all understand that it is difficult to expect tangible steps even after the second meeting," he said. There is still no decision on the date and place of the new meeting of the Special Representatives.
Earlier, answering a question about the possible participation of Armenian Prime Minister Nikol Pashinyan in a diplomatic forum in Antalya, Turkey, Mirzoyan noted that the issue of participation of the Prime Minister was not discussed and is not being discussed. "An invitation was sent to me and Mr. Ruben Rubinyan, there really is no decision, the decision will also largely depend on the results of the meeting in Vienna on February 24," Mirzoyan said.
