ArmInfo.. The meeting between the Prime Minister of Armenia and the President of Turkey may take place in the near future, Deputy Speaker of the Armenian Parliament, Special Representative for Negotiations with Turkey Ruben Rubinyan said in an interview with the RFE/RL's Armenian Service, noting that " the process of regulating Armenia-Turkey relations is in the agenda."
Earlier it was reported that Nikol Pashinyan and Recep Tayyip Erdogan may meet on October 6 in Prague. Rubinyan recalled that his last meeting with Ankara's special envoy for the normalization of Armenian- Turkish relations, Serdar Kilic, took place in July, when a well-known agreement was reached on opening borders for citizens of third countries and creating the possibility of direct air transportation of goods. <In fact, on September 14, a meeting was to be held at the border between representatives of the relevant departments of the two countries to discuss the implementation of these two political agreements, however, on September 14, let me remind you, this was during the Azerbaijani attack, the meeting was postponed at the request of the Turkish side>, he noted.
When asked that the agreements actually remained on paper, he said that they must be implemented, because in the end there is a political agreement and political responsibility for the implementation of this agreement.
Touching upon the fact that Ankara is openly trying to show that it is ready to take on the role of a mediator, to make such efforts, and whether Yerevan considers such a format acceptable if Erdogan makes such an offer, the special representative noted that " only neutral parties can be mediators." <I believe that no one can call Turkey neutral in the context of Armenian-Azerbaijani relations and Azerbaijan's invasion in the territory of Armenia>, Ruben Rubinyan pointed out.
