"'Armenia Should Look in Future to Normalize Relations with Turkey'
Jan SOYKOK (JTW) - President of the Parliamentary Assembly of the Council of Europe (PACE) René van der Linden said that to normalize relations with Turkey Armenia should “look in the future, not using the past to block it and look for peaceful solutions”, Armenian daily PanArmenian reported. Turkish experts share Linden’s ideas.

“The fact that Armenia and Turkey and CE members provides an opportunity to MPs of the two countries to meet and discuss problems. I believe if you live in a region and you do not have actual open contacts: trade and economic, cultural and personal relations, you do not serve to the cause of securing a better future for your country. It is impossible to build a sustainable future in a region, where you are isolated from your neighbors. I am sure that looking in the future is in the interests of Armenia, not using the past to block it and look for peaceful solutions."
