ANKARA — Turkey and Armenia are expected to hold a new round of talks on Wednesday as part of ongoing efforts to normalize ties, a process that is gaining momentum after the Baku-Yerevan peace summit held at the White House last month.

Armenia’s special envoy to Turkey, Ruben Rubinyan, said earlier on Monday that he would meet with his Turkish counterpart, Serdar Kilic, in the coming days.

Turkish and Armenian delegations led by Kilic and Rubinyan will meet in Armenia on Wednesday, Al-Monitor has learned from a source familiar with the planning.

The meeting will mark the sixth round of talks between the two countries as part of efforts to normalize diplomatic relations.
