Turkey has offered to hold another meeting of normalization talks with Armenia in Ankara or Yerevan, but so far there has been no response, this according to RIA Novosti citing an unnamed “diplomatic source” in Ankara.

"If we are talking about the process of normalizing relations between the two countries, it would be logical for the negotiations to take place without the participation of third countries, forces. We proposed to hold a meeting in Ankara or Yerevan, but have not received a response yet," the source is quoted as saying.

RIA Novosti writes that the source said one of the obstacles to the normalization of relations between Turkey and Armenia is the pressure of the Armenian diaspora.

"In some cases, the process is sabotaged. But we hope that the normalization process will continue," the source said.

The special envoys of Armenia and Turkey last met in Vienna on July 1.

The governments of the two countries later agreed to open the Armenian-Turkish land border to citizens of third countries and to launch air cargo flights.
