ArmInfo. The Hurriyet has disseminated misinformation quoting CNNTurk.

"Sarkisian talked about the tour he took to meet the Armenian diaspora
to inform them about the recent developments," according to CNNTurk. "I
did not go on this tour to get their permission," he said. "I went
to inform them about the Armenian government’s decision," he said,
CNNTurk reported.

In response, Press Secretary of Armenian President Samvel Farmanyan
said President Sargsyan did not speak at any briefing and made no
statement during his visit to Turkey. "The chronology shows that the
decision to sign the initialed protocols was adopted only after the
6-week public debates, the Pan Armenian Tour of the president and the
session of the National Security Council on the given topic. Hence,
the report by the Turkish media is an evident misinformation," he said.
