Richard Giragosian, the director of the Armenian Center for National
and International Studies (ACNIS) analyzed the past and upcoming events
in the sidelines of Armenia-Turkey reconciliation and forecasted that
Sargsyan-Erdogan second meeting will be held shortly, in late May or
early June.
"Sargsyan-Erdogan meeting in Washington was the first step, not
the last one. We can expect Sargsyan-Erdogan second meeting in late
May or early June in Moscow," R. Giragosian told a press conference
today and explained the possible meeting could emerge due to Russian
President Dmitry Medvedev’s upcoming visit to Turkey in May.
He is convinced that Russia continues to play active role in
Armenia-Turkey process. "The interesting thing is, however, that both
Russia and the US agree that the Nagorno-Karabakh can no longer be
a precondition and is not linked with the diplomacy," the analyst said.
