Armenia's Foreign Ministry spokesperson on Dec. 18 announced that the country's Deputy Parliament Speaker Ruben Rubinyan will be appointed as a special representative within the scope of the normalization process with Turkey.

“Deputy Speaker of the National Assembly Ruben Rubinyan will be the special representative of the Republic of Armenia for the process of the dialogue between Armenia and Turkey,” the spokesperson said in a tweet.
