PARIS, France — Turkish Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdogan’s visit
to the United States on April 12th and 13th could be the occasion for
a trilateral summit with the US and Armenia, Erdogan said in Paris
Wednesday (April 7th). The meeting with US President Barack Obama
and Armenian President Serzh Sargsyan could take place during an
international summit on nuclear security. Turkey and Armenia signed
protocols in October 2009 on dialogues aimed at normalising ties.

In other news, Turkey’s ambassador to the United States returned to
Washington on Tuesday. Namik Tan was recalled in March after the US
House Foreign Affairs Committee passed a resolution terming the World
War I-era massacres of Armenians a "genocide". (Milliyet, Radikal –
