Armenia, Turkey, and Switzerland Issue Joint Statement on ‘Road Map’

YEREVAN (A.W.)The Ministries of Foreign Affairs of the Republic of Armenia, the Republic of Turkey and the Swiss Federal Department of Foreign Affairs issued a joined statement on April 22 announcing that a road-map of normalizing relations has been identified. The statement has been posted on the websites of Armenia’s and Turkey’s Foreign Ministries. The statement reads:
 
“Turkey and Armenia, together with Switzerland as mediator, have been working intensively with a view to normalizing their bilateral relations and developing them in a spirit of good-neighborliness, and mutual respect, and thus to promoting peace, security and stability in the whole region.

“The two parties have achieved tangible progress and mutual understanding in this process and they have agreed on a comprehensive framework for the normalization of their bilateral relations in a mutually satisfactory manner. In this context, a road-map has been identified.

“This agreed basis provides a positive prospect for the on-going process.”

  1. Ah yes, the roadmap to “nowhere” for Armenia. Or is it “over the cliff”?

    The US obviously pushed this “roadmap” to provide Saint Barack Obama (also known as “President” Obama or, to you Obamaniacs, “His Holiness”) with yet another excuse to not use the G word for April 24.

    Too bad that the leadership in Armenia is not smart enough to see through this. It is hard to understand why a political party that has a proud history of over 100 years would want to be part of the ruling coalition (or should we call it an unruly coalition?) under these circumstances. By the way, what exactly is the ARF’s “roadmap”?
