Moscow has also announced its readiness to help in the normalization of relations between the two countries, according to Russian Foreign Ministry Spokesperson Maria Zakharova.

"We proceed from the fact that the normalization of the Armenian-Turkish relations would contribute to the improvement of the general situation in the region, would help to form a healthy atmosphere of trust and good-neighborliness," Zakharova said at a briefing, announcing Russia's readiness to help in the process.

Ankara-Yerevan flights

Turkey is now considering the requests of Turkish and Armenian airlines on the launching of flights from Istanbul to Yerevan and vice versa, with the decision expected to be made in the coming days, according to Turkey's foreign minister.

"Airlines' applications are reviewed by the Ministry of Transport and the General Directorate of Civil Aviation of Turkey. In principle, the attitude of the Turkish side to the issue is positive. In the coming days, it will be determined which of the companies will be able to fly this route," Anadolu Agency quoted Cavusoglu as saying.
