On May 3rd, a meeting took place in Vienna between the special representatives for the normalization of relations between Armenia and Turkey, Ruben Rubinyan and Serdar Kılıç. The Armenian Ministry of Foreign Affairs reports that the Armenian and Turkish envoys have reaffirmed the objective of achieving a comprehensive normalization between the two countries through this process.

"In this regard, they had a candid and effective exchange of clear views and discussed possible steps that could be taken in this direction to achieve tangible progress. They reaffirmed their agreement to continue the process without preconditions," the statement said.

It is noteworthy that today's meeting is the third one since the appointment of special envoys for Armenian-Turkish relations. Ruben Rubinyan and Serdar Kılıç first met in January in Moscow, followed by a meeting in February in Vienna. As a result of these two meetings, the envoys agreed to continue the process without preconditions. Despite the Turkish side claiming that it is time to move the negotiations to Yerevan and Ankara, this meeting was held in a third country at the initiative of the Armenian side.
