    ARMENIA, TURKEY CLOSE TO SIGNING OF AGREEMENT ON NORMALIZATION OF RELATIONS

    Armenia and Turkey are close to signing of an agreement on
    normalization of relations, director of Armenian Center for National
    and International Studies (ACNIS).

    "A protocol on establishment of diplomatic relations will not be signed
    on April 16 during the visit of Turkish Foreign Minister to Armenia,"
    Richard Giragosian told a news conference in Yerevan today.

    At that, he said that normalization of bilateral relations will have
    both positive and negative consequences.

    "Turkey claims the position of main regional actor. It's sick and tired
    of continuous talks with the European Union which will get nowhere,"
    Mr. Giragosian said.

    "U.S. President Barack Obama's visit to Turkey was a necessity. It will
    be extremely hard to withdraw U.S. troops from Iraq without Ankara's
    assistance," he said, adding that Obama has done everything he planned
    without offending Turks and falling short of using the term Genocide.

    "I think he will do the same on April 24. He will say mass killings
    instead of Armenian Genocide," he said.
