Turkey's Cavusoglu says he had constructive meeting with Armenian counterpart

Turkish Foreign Minister Mevlut Cavusoglu said he had a very productive and constructive meeting with his Armenian counterpart Ararat Mirzoyan on Saturday as the neighbours work to mend ties after decades of animosity.

Cavusoglu was speaking alongside Mirzoyan after the two met for half an hour at a diplomatic forum in Antalya. Turkey has had no diplomatic or commercial ties with Armenia since the 1990s but held talks in January in a first attempt to restore links since a 2009 peace accord, which was never ratified.
