/PanARMENIAN.Net/ During the meeting with the EU Ambassadors in Ankara
Turkish Foreign Minister Abdullah Gul stated that Armenian President Robert
Kocharian and Turkish Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdogan are likely to meet
within the frames of the CE Summit in Warsaw May 16-17, RFE/FL reported.
`Turkey is often called to open border with Armenia without taking into
account the fact that Turkey cannot do that’, he said. `Pursuing the wrong
policy of interference the Armenian Diaspora does not wish the
Turkish-Armenian relations to develop. Despite this Turkey positively
estimates Robert Kocharian’s reply letter’, Mr. Gul added. To note,
yesterday Recep Tayyip Erdogan stated that `the meeting with Robert
Kocharian in Moscow was not scheduled.’ `If Armenia meets its commitments
Turkey will exert every effort for securing just and lasting settlement of
the regional problems’, Erdogan said. As PanARMENIAN.Net came to know, the
Administration of the Armenian President does not possess any information on
the possible meeting of the RA President and Turkish Prime Minister.
