"There is progress and I am hopeful that reconciliation is not far away. Of course, there are painful historical issues, which should be acknowledged for further development of relations," Goran Lennmarker, OSCE Special Representative on Nagorno Karabakh said, reported Armenian press organ Panarmenian.net.
"The entire world knows what happened during World War I. But both Armenia and Turkey should move forward step by step," he said.
The visit of Turkish President Abdullah Gul to Armenia on Sept. 6, 2008 was welcomed by the international community as thaw in bilateral relations.
The talks focused on the ways to continue the dialogue and also referred to the Caucasus Stability and Cooperation Platform initiated by Turkey after the war in South Ossetia in August 2008.
