The likelihood that the Armenian-Turkish rapprochement will continue
has been reduced, said European Integration NGO Chair Karen Bekaryan
at a press conference today. At the same time, he said, the possibility
isn’t nil.

"In reality, the Washingon meeting in April can add quite interesting
ups and downs to or kickstart the process. We’ll live [and] we’ll see,
because it’s quite a multifunctional situation, and this is only the
Armenian-Turkish issue," he said.

According to Bekaryan, the possible Obama-Sargsyan-Erdogan meeting
will reveal what new possibilities exist in this process.

"Politics doesn’t like black and white colours. Rather, it’s more so
an arena of probabilities," said Bekaryan, noting that a change in
the situation is possible.
