/PanARMENIAN.Net/ No meeting between Armenian Foreign Minister Edward

in Munich.
"Minister Nalbandian is not scheduled to attend the," RA MFA press
office told PanARMENIAN.Net.
Earlier, Hurriyet Daily News reported that Davutoglu and Nalbandian
agreed to meet on the sidelines of 46th Munich Security Conference
to discuss the Protocols on normalization of relations between Turkey
and Armenia.
The Protocols aimed at normalization of bilateral ties and opening of
the border between Armenia and Turkey were signed in Zurich by Armenian
Foreign Minister Edward Nalbandian and his Turkish counterpart Ahmet
Davutoglu on October 10, 2009, after a series of diplomatic talks
held through Swiss mediation.
On January 12, 2010, the Constitutional Court of the Republic of
Armenia found the protocols conformable to the country’s Organic Law.
The annual Munich conference dates back to 1962, at the height of
the Cold War, when it was founded by German publisher Ewald von
Kleist as the Wehrkundetagung (Security Conference). It was later
renamed the international Conference on Security Policy. Each year,
some 250 participants from 40 countries discuss in depth their views
on the development of transatlantic relations as well as European
and global security.
