/PanARMENIAN.Net/ Turkish Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdogan expressed
dissatisfaction to the Presidents of Russia and Poland Vladimir Putin and
Alexander Kwasniewski over the stand of the Parliaments of those countries
over the issue of the Armenian Genocide. This was done in Moscow, where
Erdogan took part in celebrities over the 60th anniversary of the Great
Victory. The Turkish Premier and the Armenian President `shook hand in
Moscow, however they did not talk.’ As it is known earlier Turkish
diplomatic sources did not rule out a Kocharian-Erdogan meeting either in
Moscow on 9 May or in Warsaw within the Council of Europe summit May 15-16.
However, as stated by Armenian Foreign Minister Vartan Oskanian, there was
no specific arrangement on the meeting of the Armenian and Turkish leaders,
reported Regnum news agency.
