Turkey constantly maintains ties with Armenian president Serzh Sargsyan, Turkey's President Abdullah Gul told journalists on his way back from Turkmenistan, Turkish periodical Bugun reports.
Asked whether there are any hopes for overcoming the current stalemate with Armenia, Mr Gul said: "I have announced in parliament and repeat once again that the current situation is in none of the parties' interests. Should the problems and doubts be resolved, there'll be chances for large-scale cooperation and a boom in South Caucasus within a short period. This is a very good beginning which was marked by my letter," Turkish leader said, adding that the process is not dead.
"We carry out certain work for the Caucasus. In this connection I have given instructions to the authorized bodies and ministers. We constantly maintain ties with presidents Sargsyan, Aliyev and Putin, and the issue remains a hot topic," Abdullah Gul mentioned.
