The Armenian Ministry of Foreign Affairs responded to Turkish Foreign Minister Mevlut Cavusoglu who claimed that Armenia and Turkey have agreed to host the future talks between special envoys for normalization on their own soil, rather than in third countries.

In response to a query from ARMENPRESS, Foreign Ministry spokesperson Vahan Hunanyan refuted this.

Question: Turkish Foreign Minister Mevult Cavusoglu said that the meetings of the special representatives of Armenia and Turkey will from now on be hosted in Armenia and Turkey. How would you comment on this statement?

Various proposals were voiced, including regarding the opening of the border for diplomatic passport holders. An agreement was reached to discuss these proposals in a working procedure.
