Ex foreign minister of Nagorno Karabakh Arman Melikian said he
considers Sargsyan-Erdogan meeting in Washington to be significant
for both sides.
"This was another meeting of significant importance, but its tactical
goals were different for each side," said Arman Melikian at the
press conference.
"The meeting between Armenia's President Sargsyan and Turkey's Prime
Minister Erdogan was considered by Armenian side as an approach to
achieve benefits, while Turkey and the United States had more global
objectives," pointed politician.
"New developments can appear in May; however, I think the process
of normalisation of Armenia-Turkey relations may be significantly
fastened down, claiming new elements," he said pointing that Sargsyan
and Erdogan didn't make a joint statement following the meeting.
"It's symbolic that after meeting with Erdogan, Armenia's President
attended Grave of the 28th president of the United States Woodrow
Wilson, as it was him who delineated boundaries of the Armenia we
had dreamed about and haven't reached yet.
"Paying a tribute to Woodrow Wilson, Armenian authorities, perhaps,
tried to send a message to both Turkey and Armenian public that they
would maintain strong positions," stressed Arman Melikian.
