There is no final decision yet on Armenia’s participation in the Antalya Diplomacy Forum (ADF), ruling Civil Contract faction MP Eduard Aghajanyan, chair of the parliamentary committee on foreign relations, told a briefing on Thursday.

His comments came in response to the statement of Turkish Foreign Minister Mevlut Cavusoglu that Armenia's Foreign Minister Ararat Mirzoyan and special envoy Ruben Rubinyan are expected to attend the Antalya Diplomacy Forum.

“At this point, there is no final decision on the participation,” Aghajanyan said, adding he had checked the report before the briefing.

Separately, he said the date and venue of the next meeting between the Armenian and Turkish special representatives are not yet known.

Answering a question whether there is an agreement that meetings of envoys should not be held in third countries, Aghajanyan noted: "During the discussions, both the Armenian and the Turkish side will express a clear view on the matter, I think, this is not an issue on which it is impossible to agree.”
