possibility of another meeting with Turkish leader Abdullah Gul, the RA

between Presidents of Azerbaijan, Turkey and Armenia is expected till

Turkish Foreign Ministry said Turkey doesn’t plan trilateral talks
between leaders of Armenia, Turkey and Azerbaijan.

Azerbaijan and Armenia. But Turkey doesn’t plan a meeting of the kind,"
said Burak Ozugergin, spokesman for the Turkish MFA, the Anatolia
news agency reports.
Earlier, some Turkish media circulated reports that "Turkish President
Abdullah Gul is readying to take another bold step to contribute to
regional peace in the Caucasus by soon hosting a trilateral summit
