/PanARMENIAN.Net/ Signing of Armenian-Turkish Protocols was postponed
upon Armenian side's initiative, U.S. State Department representative
Ian Kelley said. There are unconfirmed data that RA FM Edward
Nalbandyan terminated meeting with U.S. State Secretary Hillary
Clinton, a PanARMENIAN.Net correspondent reports from
Zurich. Presumably, Armenian side failed to reach agreement with
Turkey at the last moment. Hillary Clinton who was on her way to
Zurich University returned to hotel.
Earlier, Swiss Foreign Ministry reported that Protocol signing had
been postponed. It is unknown whether documents will be signed at
all. The Protocols were to have been signed in presence Swiss Foreign
Minister Micheline Calmy-Rey since Switzerland is a mediator in
negotiation between Armenia and Turkey.
U.S. State Hillary Clinton, French Foreign Minister Bernard Kouchner,
Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov, EU Foreign Policy Chief Javier
Solana, Armenia's Ambassador to Switzerland Charles Aznavour and
Turkey's Ambassador to Switzerland Oguz Demiralp have arrived in
Switzerland to participate in the ceremony.
