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.
