ArmInfo. At the upcoming meeting with Serzh Sargsyan the Turkish
party will try to hold ratification of the Protocols on agenda,
Artsvik Minasyan, parliamentarian from ARFD, said at parliamentary
briefings on Friday.

He said the Turkish party will also try to feel the possibility of
any breakthroughs in linking the Armenian- Turkish and the Karabakh
processes. It is important for Ankara to find out also the US policy
towards Turkey in the light of the upcoming parliamentary elections
in Turkey, he said. President of Armenia Serzh Sargsyan and President
of Georgia Mikheil Saakashvili will represent the South Caucasus at
the Global Nuclear Summit on April 12-13 in Washington. President of
Azerbaijan Ilham Aliyev has not been invited to the Summit. President
of Armenia has already agreed to meet with Erdogan.

To recall, Armenia and Turkey signed the "Protocol on the establishment
of diplomatic relations" and the "Protocol on the development of
bilateral relations" in Zurich on October 10. To come into effect
the protocols must be ratified by the Parliaments on each side.
