The meeting between Armenian President Serzh Sargsyan and Turkish
Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdogan proved ineffective, a Russian
expert said.

"There are several reasons for it: the Armenian Genocide resolution
adopted by the U.S. House panel, Erdogan’s threat to deport illegal
Armenian migrants and Turkey’s support to Azerbaijan in Karabakh
issue," Alexander Sotnichenko, senior analyst at the Saint Petersburg
Institute of Middle East Studies, told a PanARMENIAN.Net reporter.

The Turkish parliament is unlikely to ratify the protocols unless
the RA Constitutional Court amends the text of its ruling, according
to him.
