    VAT meetin cancelled, Russia wants to act as a mediator between
    Turkey and Armenia

    The Viennese Armenian-Turkish Platform (VAT) yesterday announced that
    it would not carry through its starting initiative "The First
    Viennese Armenian-Turkish Round Table" originally planned for spring
    2005.
    The reason is that the Armenian side has failed to provide the
    platform with the necessary confirmation as agreed in August 2004.
    The Turkish side accepted to participate in the dialogue, in which
    each part was supposed to present 180 documents on the year 1915
    showing their understanding of the so-called Armenian genocide. In
    July 2004, the first 100 documents each from the Armenian and Turkish
    side were exchanged to get the dialogue started.

    The VAT was founded by four Austrian historians as a neutral platform
    serving as an intermediary for Turkish and Armenian researchers
    scientifically investigating the Armenian-Turkish Question. In
    related news, the Moscow radio yesterday announced that the Russian
    Federation is ready to act as a mediator between Turkey and Armenia
    as well as the guarantor of any possible agreement to be signed
    between the two countries.
