Touching upon Karabakh conflict settlement, the Armenian Foreign Minister mentioned that during their last visit to the region the OSCE Minsk Group Co-chairs presented an initiative to hold a meeting in Zurich at the level of Ministers that will precede the Armenian and Azerbaijani Presidents' meeting in Davos; both Presidents gave their consent to the meeting.
Mr.Nalbandian mentioned that the Azerbaijani Foreign Minister gave his consent. The Armenian FM isn't against the meeting with his counterpart as well.
What about the statements about signing an agreement in the nearest future based on the basic principles of Karabakh conflict settlement, the Minister said that there is always such a probability but it's not right to set time limits.
What about the Armenian-Turkish relations, Armenia has adopted an initiating policy and its position remains the same - opening of the border and improvement in relations without preconditions.
To the question, "What price is Armenia ready to pay for improvement of relations with Turkey?" Nalbandian answered that he heard similar question during a press conference in Turkey.
"Turkey needs improvement in relations not less than Armenia", the Minister said adding, "We should turn that sorrowful page of history with joint efforts; but not by forgetting but recognizing it".
