    ARMENIA BACKS SECRET TALKS, TURKISH FM



    Armenia is seeking to conduct talks with Turkey secretly, Turkish
    Foreign Minister Ali Babacan has said. Babacan told a local TV channel
    that Yerevan prefers confidentiality of discussions on fears of
    pressure from the quite numerous and powerful Armenian lobby. This
    lobby definitely does not care about the misery, economic crisis and
    the predicament that Armenia faces, the minister said. He noted that
    Turkey, which has been elected an associate member of the United
    Nations Security Council, will continue stepping up effort at
    resolving outstanding regional problems. In particular, Ankara will
    keep working to realize its recent initiative to set up a five-nation
    union called the Caucasus Peace and Cooperation Platform, which aims
    to bolster stability in the turbulent region. Babacan emphasized that
    the Turkish Foreign Ministry had set up two working groups to deal
    with its activity within the UN SC, with one of them to operate in
    Ankara and the other one in New York.
