JOINT STATEMENT OF THE SWISS FEDERAL DEPARTMENT OF FOREIGN AFFAIRS AND OF THE MINISTRIES OF FOREIGN AFFAIRS OF THE REPUBLIC OF ARMENIA AND OF THE REPUBLIC OF TURKEY

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.

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