Special envoys of Turkiye and Armenia likely to meet in January in Russia as Yerevan lifts embargo on Turkish goods ahead of talks over normalisation of ties
Turkiye's Foreign Minister Mevlut Cavusoglu says Armenia's embargo on Turkish goods was"meaningless."
The envoys at the first meeting will exchange views on a roadmap on which steps can be taken, including confidence-building steps, Cavusoglu noted. Three days later, Armenia appointed National Assembly Deputy Speaker Ruben Rubinyan its special representative for dialogue with Turkiye. Meanwhile, Armenia announced it was lifting an embargo on Turkish goods from January 1, a move to improve ties.
The two countries have no diplomatic relations, a closed frontier and a long history of hostility dating back to World War I.
