Turkish Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdogan said Wednesday he might
meet with Armenian President Serzh Sargsyan.
"There are no obstacles that would hinder a meeting with Sargsyan,
we may meet," Erdogan told a press briefing before departing for
Davos to participate in the World Economic Forum.
"The Armenian diaspora is working and we see very clearly that the
diaspora is up to certain things. But we also see that the current
administration in Armenia does not share these. We have never favored
steps that would cast a shadow on peace and we will not," Erdogan
said in response to a question.
Erdogan said he had no planned tete-a-tete meeting with Israeli
President Shimon Peres but he said he would come together with Peres
at a discussion panel on peace in the Middle East.
The Turkish premier also said he would meet a number world leaders
including Russian, Kazakh, Azerbaijani, Colombian presidents as well
as Albanian, Dutch, Polish prime ministers.
