Official Ankara is sending an indirect `condolence message’ to the
Armenian authorities connected with the death of RA Prime Minister
Andranik Margaryan.
Because of the absence of diplomatic relations between Turkey and
Armenia, the telegram of condolence of the Turkish Prime Minister
Recep Tayyip Erdogan to RA President Robert Kocharyan will be passed
to the Armenian Embassy in Georgia through the Turkish Embassy in
Tbilisi, Turkish `Zaman’ informs. In the same way the Vice-Premier and
Foreign Minister of Turkey Abdullah Gul will express his condolences
to RA Foreign Minister Vartan Oskanian. The newspaper mentions also
that official Ankara has not received an invitation to participate in
the funeral of Andranik Margaryan and `in case of receiving an
official invitation Ankara will decide what to do.’
