Yerevan (Yerkir) - Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdogan has sent
Turkey's top diplomat to Armenia to discuss snags in reconciliation
efforts between the two estranged neighbors, Turkish officials said
Wednesday, AFP reported.
Feridun Sinirlioglu, undersecretary of the foreign ministry, was to
meet Wednesday with Armenian President Serzh Sargsyan and Foreign
Minister Edward Nalbandyan.
Sinirlioglu "will reassert Turkey's commitment to the
[reconciliation] process but will also convey our concerns," the
official, who requested anonymity, told AFP.
The envoy will also discuss "steps that need to be taken to ensure
that the process moves forward," said a senior diplomat, who also
declined to be named.
He will also explore the possibility of arranging a meeting between
Erdogan and Sargsyan on the sidelines of a nuclear security summit
in Washington next week, the sources said.
