Armenia’s Foreign Minister Ararat Mirzoyan stated during today's press conference that he and Armenian Special Representative in the Armenia-Turkey dialogue process Ruben Rubinyan are invited to participate in the Antalya Diplomatic Forum. At the same time, Mirzoyan informed that a final decision on this issue has not been made yet.

"The Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Armenia has not yet made a decision on this issue, the issue is being discussed. I want to note that this is not a bilateral visit, it should not be considered in a bilateral context. This is an international diplomatic event that Armenia may decide to participate in. I do not see any problem here, and besides I think that even if we connect it with the Armenia-Turkey dialogue, it has nothing but positive shades,” Mirzoyan said.
