WASHINGTON — Turkey is looking for progress in talks to improve
relations with Armenia during a rare face-to-face meeting between the
Turkish prime minister and Armenia’s president next week.
Turkey’s ambassador to Washington Namik Tan told The Associated Press
Friday that Turkish Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdogan and Armenian
President Serge Sarkisian would discuss the stalled talks on the
sidelines of the nuclear security summit hosted by President Barack
Obama on Monday and Tuesday.
Turkey and Armenia signed historic agreements for reconciliation in
October, but the deals still need to be approved by their parliaments.
