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.

"There is no decision yet. I hope you will agree that events in the  world are developing very rapidly, the world is changing every  second. When the deadlines approach, we will make a decision," he  said.

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.
