The official Ankara has high expectations from the upcoming meeting of
Armenian and Azerbaijani presidents Serzh Sargsyan and Ilham Aliev to
be held on October 8 within the framework of the summit of presidents
of CIS countries in Kishnev, as reported by "Today’s Zaman".
According to "Today’s Zaman", as a result of the Sargsyan-Aliev
meeting, the Armenian side will agree to dislocate the Armenian
military units from the five regions surrounding Nagorno-Karabakh.
"Every sign of progress in the talks on the resolution of the
Nagorno-Karabakh conflict will have a positive impact on the
normalization of relations between Turkey and Armenia," writes
"Today’s Zaman".
Another Turkish newspaper Aksham referred to its sources and informed
that the signing of the protocols is scheduled to follow the CIS
summit so that Armenia will not be able to use the signing of the
protocols against Azerbaijan. It is also mentioned that there have
been discrepancies between Turkish and Armenian deputies in regard
to the participation of OSCE Minsk Group Co-Chairs in the signing of
the Turkish-Armenian protocols.
Turkish officials have even planned to send invitations to the
Co-Chairs, but the Armenian side has sharply expressed disagreement,
saying that Turkish-Armenian relations and the Nagorno-Karabakh
conflict are two different processes.
According to the newspaper, the Armenian, Turkish and Swiss Foreign
Ministers will most probably be invited to attend the signing of the
Turkish-Armenian protocols. Let us remind that the signing of the
protocols is scheduled for October 10 in Tsurikh.
