A chess game has started between Yerevan and Ankara after Armenian
President Serzh Sargsyan and Turkish Prime Minister Recep Tayyip
Erdogan held a recent meeting in Washington in the framework of the
World Nuclear Security Summit on April 12-13, writes local Turkish
daily Hurriyet, referring to Turkish Foreign Minister Ahmet Davutoglu’s
visit today to Baku.

Turkish foreign minster is expected to elaborate on the meetings
Armenian, Turkish and American leaders and other high-ranking officials
held in Washington during the summit.

"As soon as Ahmet Davutoglu announced about his visit to Azerbaijan,
Armenian President Serzh Sargsyan decided to leave for Moscow,"
writes the newspaper, adding that Sargsyan’s decision to go to Moscow
is directly related to Davutoglu’s visit to Baku.

"The main objective of Davutoglu’s visit is to try and dispel
impressions that some tricks are being played behind Azerbaijan,"
writes Hurriyet, adding that Davutoglu is set to ensure Azerbaijan’s
President Ilham Aliyev that Ankara has not changed its stance over
the opening of Armenian-Turkish border.
