of hope that the process of Turkish-Armenian "normalization" is back
on track.
"The meeting represented the ‘last chance’ for Turkey to meet
expectations, new obstacles are coming, including the April 24th

Washington will use the dialogue between the two countries to achieve
its goals in Karabakh process, according to Mr. Giragosian.
